What visitors say
Very beautiful, lots of parking and picnic benches with bbq plates. I love the playground.
· via Google
The area is stunning but we were not impressed with the centre or layout of the place. A large playpark was the central point, great for families I guess.. It's such a shame that the cafe doesn't face the water.

Beautiful except for the blue green algae danger. It is not visible now after a clean up but my goodness it's scary Staff are always lovely. The building is always very clean and pleasant

Wonderful spot for some walking and getting away from it all. Had never been to lough neagh before and decided to come here as it was closest to us. Great nature trails and plenty of parking. Visitors centre had toilets and cafe restaurant but we were a bit late in the day for food. Nice to happen upon somewhere in NI that doesn't have some lad at the entrance looking for a fiver as is the case for many other nature reserves and forests. Lovely to see swan and ducks with their young Lots of midges that were biting but that's just nature for you
· via Google
Visitors say this nature reserve offers numerous nature trails for walking and cycling, along with well-maintained grass areas and picnic benches. They also highlight the free access, ample parking, and clean, well-maintained restrooms. Guests mention the presence of a cafe and a large, safe playground for children.
