You've found one of West Cork's most magical spots, a unique saltwater lake perfect for a refreshing dip or a peaceful kayak. For the best views, take the woodland path up Knockomagh Hill; it's a steady climb for about 30-40 minutes, but the panoramic sight of the lough and the surrounding coastline is absolutely worth the effort. The trail starts just a short walk up the road from the main car park by the water's edge.
