Lough Guitane Walk
This walk visits Lough Guitane in County Kerry near the town of Killarney.
There's a nice walking trail on the eastern side of the lough which you can follow south along the water. Along the way there are splendid views across the lake to the surrounding hills.
The scenic freshwater lake is also located near the Killarney National Park where there are many other good walking options.
For example if you head just a short distance west you could continue your waterside walking at Mucross Lake where there's a fantastic circular trail to try around the deepest lake in Ireland. The 14km walk also visits Lough Leane, another of the famous three Lakes of Killarney. The Lough Leane And Ross Castle Walk visits an historic 15th century castle on the shores of the lough in this area too.
