You can drive almost to the lake by car; there's a parking lot for 5-6 cars. We parked a little earlier.

Don't let your navigation system lead you down small gravel roads on the way to the lake. The road is narrow, and in places a bit steep and winding, but it's paved throughout.

About the hike itself: Pathless terrain with no markings or signs. In places, there's tall grass and swampy. Waterproof shoes are recommended. You should only do it when visibility is good. It's worth walking along the highest point whenever possible. There's a small, narrow climbing section near the beginning of the last third of the trail. You should stay on the trail there.

With a little sense of direction, a circumnavigation is possible.

Especially in the winter months, Barley Lake is a particularly lonely place in Ireland. When hiking through the peat fields of the Caha Mountains, you hardly meet other people at this time.
