Halfway between Priest’s Leaps and Knockboy summit is the scenically lovely water feature that is Lough Boy. It is a fair size, and it makes for a lovely rest spot with nice views out over the Shehy Mountains.

Mountain biking
A small but beautiful bog lake surrounded by grassland. Be aware that you will need to carry your bike over some steps to cross animal protective fencing along this section of the trail.

Abandoned lake. Here you can rest and let your soul wander.
