Beautiful trail run. Currently (Aug 2025) the path along the lake is not possible due to felled trees.

Great forest path, with many fallen trees, karst holes, karst streams that appear short and then flow underground.

The Slí Grainne Uaile Loop Trail is a scenic 6.6 km hike starting and ending at Johnny Patten’s pub in Derreens. Taking about 2 to 2.5 hours to complete, the trail offers panoramic views of Achill Sound, Clew Bay, and Clare Island. Along the route, hikers can see historical landmarks like the ruins of Grace O’Malley’s castle in Kildownet and remnants of 19th-century deserted villages. The path is well-marked with green arrows featuring the Granuaile castle logo, but due to wet conditions in certain areas, sturdy waterproof footwear is recommended. This trail combines natural beauty with rich history, making it a rewarding experience for visitors to Achill Island.
