Glencar Lakes straddles the border between counties Sligo and Leitrim. The walk along the lake shore is linear in nature, gentle in gradient and uses the public road which is generally quiet, writes Martin Branagan.
The road hugs the shore line and provides wonderful views over the expanse of the lake. This walk gives the visitor a discreet view of the vast array of bird and animal life which thrive on the lake.
The famous poet W.B.Yeats immortalised the waterfall in his poem “the Stolen Child”. Where the Wandering Water gushes, from the hills above Glencar”.
