You should approach from Roundwood on the R759 to Sally Gap, then take the three-minute path from the signposted lay-by to the viewpoint. This lough reveals its true character on a day of low, gray skies and shifting rain. Bright sunshine diminishes its presence for us; proper weather deepens its mood.
Park at the upper lay-by and walk twenty meters to the wooden bench. Brief breaks in the clouds illuminate the white beach against the dark water, a perfect instance of transient drama we remember.
