To get to the start, take the A505 from Omagh. About six miles from Omagh turn right at the sign for Loughmacrory. Drive into the village of Loughmacrory and turn left in the centre. After about 200 yds turn right through two stone pillars and along a tarred laneway. Park in the parking area at the end of the tar and enjoy the walk.

At the end of the tarred laneway walkers can either walk straight ahead or turn left. The path follows the shoreline of the lough and whichever direction you choose you will arrive back at this starting point.

The walk is a gravel path which follows the shoreline of the lough. There are a few gentle inclines along the way. Five kissing gates, which are wheelchair and buggy accessible prevent bikes and quads from using the walk. There is only one path which follows the shoreline of the lough, so you'll not get lost.

Toilet facilities are provided to the left of the starting point close to the community building.

Walking around the shore of Loughmacrory Lough is a refreshing and relaxing way to unwind. Enjoy the flora and fauna of this beautiful, unspoilt freshwater environment and enjoy the changing views of the lough from around its shoreline. You might be lucky enough to glimpse the electric blue flash of a kingfisher or see the swans and wild geese that visit. The wild duck also hatch and rear their young at the north side of the lough. During your walk you'll be sure to see the indigenous brown trout surface for food.
