Lough Boora Parklands

Boora Lake is first and foremost an angling lake, stocked with coarse fish. However, it also has an area where families can feed ducks, swans and geese. This has proven very popular with locals, providing an excellent opportunity for children and adults to view wild birds up close.

Railway embankment

Part of the Boora Lake walk follows an old railway embankment around the lake and makes for a very pleasant stroll. Its elevated position provides the visitor with excellent views of Boora Lake and Leabeg wetland.

Ancient oak

Examples of ancient oak, yew and pine trunks that were preserved in the bog for thousands of years are displayed in the car park opposite the thatched bird hide. Also located in the car park is a granite "erratic", carried into the area by glaciers during the last ice age and deposited as they retreated, and a limestone boulder containing many fossils. 

The beginnings of the Leabeg, Lough Boora Mesolithic and Boora Lake walks are located in the car park.  Picnic areas and information boards, are located on site.  

Boora Lake is located adjacent to Loch an Dochais. It is situated on the right (west) of the cycle Path road, which links the Boora road (R357) to the N52 Kilcormac road.
