About
Lough Navar Forest is a magnificent site within the Geopark. Extending across 2,600 hectares of bog, heath, open water, native woodland, and coniferous forest, there’s plenty to explore within this spectacular forest.
A path has been provided which circles this pleasant lake and offers views across the lake and its surrounding rugged hills. Lough Achork is the source of the Sillees River which runs through the nearby Correl Glen to eventually join Lough Erne near Enniskillen. The sheltered location of the lake and fringing woodland with its abundance of food make the area a popular haven for birds, otters, ducks, swans, foxes, deer, hares which can often be spotted feeding, nesting, or rearing their young in the area all year round.
