Ballard Waterfall Trail

The trail brings the walker on roadway, forest track and path passing through forest of mixed tree species, with a spur to the beautiful hidden waterfall on the Muchnagh River which eventually flows into the River Blackwater. Otter, salmon, brown trout, brook and river lamprey can all be found in the Muchnagh River and the trail has a variety of flora and fauna including the usual woodland animals. As well as the stunning waterfall, the trail offers excellent views of the surrounding countryside and hills including Skeheen Mountain.
