The trail initially follows the popular Upper Vartry Trail but continues north alongside the reservoir. It then follows a meandering route through dense Coillte Forest, before emerging at Carriggower Bog Special Area of Conservation which is home to some unique species.
The scenic trail is easy going throughout and offers views over the reservoir and surrounding landscape.
