SUMMARY:Lough Muskry Guided Hike
DESCRIPTION:Lough Muskry\, the Galtee Mountains \n\n\n\nDiscover one of the hidden gems of the Galtee Mountains on this rewarding hike through peaceful woodland\, mountain trails and dramatic upland scenery on the northern side of the range. \n\n\n\nStarting from the Glengarra Wood Forest Recreation Area\, we follow well-maintained forest tracks through mature woodland before gradually climbing alongside mountain streams. As we leave the shelter of the forest\, the landscape opens onto the eastern slopes of Knockastakeen and the foothills of Greenane\, revealing sweeping views across the Galtee Mountains and the impressive cliffs surrounding Lough Muskry. \n\n\n\nAs you gain height\, you’ll experience the changing mountain landscape and enjoy a real sense of being in the heart of the Galtees\, with Galtymore rising beyond the ridgelines ahead. \n\n\n\nThis is an ideal progression hike for anyone looking to build confidence in mountain terrain. The route offers an excellent introduction to the northern approaches of the Galtee Mountains and is perfect preparation for those considering a future ascent of Galtymore. \n\n\n\nBefore returning by the same route\, we’ll also visit the hidden gem of Lough Farbreaga\, a secluded mountain lake tucked away beneath the surrounding peaks. \n\n\n\nAs with all mountain walks\, there are no facilities along the route. Sturdy footwear\, suitable clothing\, food and plenty of water are essential\, as the terrain can be uneven\, rocky and wet underfoot. \n\n\n\n\nInformation:\n\nDistance: 9km\n\n\n\nStart/End: Glengarra Wood Forest Recreational Area car park (near Rossadrehid)\n\n\n\nDistance: 3/3.5hr\n\n\n\nTrail Grade: Moderate\n\n\n\nElevation gain: 509m\n\n\n\nTerrain: Forest trail & uneven rocky ground\n\n\n\nFormat: Out-and-back\n\n\n\nDogs: Sorry\, dogs are not permitted on this walk.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease bring\n\nHiking boots with good ankle support\n\n\n\nWaterproof jacket and trousers.\n\n\n\nLunch\, snack snacks and plenty of water\n\n\n\nWarm layers (hat and gloves recommended)\n\n\n\nSunscreen\n\n\n\nWalking poles (recommended)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nPlease note: Sessions run subject to minimum group numbers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBook Now
