Forest Parks & Nature Trails

Enjoy the great outdoors in Cavan's two great Forest Parks at Killykeen and Dun an Rí.

Killykeen surrounds the lake and islands of Lough Oughter. Scattered throughout the park are early fortifications such as Crannogs or lake dwellings. The woodland has great diversity of trees with oak, ash, birch, beech, sycamore and alder in abundance.

Dun an Rí Forest Park is situated in a tranquil glen, one mile from Kingscourt. Here you'll find stoat, hare, mink, rabbit, red and gray squirrel and otter along the banks of the River Cabra. Spend a truly relaxing day taking in some on the well marked walks and winding trails. Don't forget to visit the ice house and Cromwell's Bridge!

Both parks are havens for bird life such as heron, coot, cormorant, moorhen, kingfisher, mallard, wagtail warbler and the great crested grebe.
