Where can you park to walk up to Carrickreagh Viewpoint near Enniskillen?

The Carrickreagh Viewpoint trail has its own small parking area near Ely Lodge Forest off the A46, separate from the nearby main forest car park.

The marked black route climbs through hillside forestry to a shelter and views over Lower Lough Erne before descending. The source distinguishes this climb from the flatter Carrickreagh Jetty route, despite both starting in the Ely Lodge area.

Practical advice: Do not choose this uphill trail solely because a lakeshore walk nearby is labelled accessible. Allow for a steep forest ascent and wear good footwear; use the correct parking area for your chosen route rather than starting from the wrong end of the forest.
