With breathtaking views over Muckish mountain and Lough Agher this 9.4km linear trail follows a section of the old Letterkenny to Burtonport railway line. There are a number of looped walks that can be taken including the Lough Agher loop 4.5km and the Railway Loop 2km. These walks are paved, making them suitable for walkers, those on bikes and those using wheelchairs.
To find this walk, turn off the N56 opposite the Doe graveyard, just on the north side of Creeslough. Drive for a few kilometres, past Muckish Sand and Gravel, and you will see the walkers signs on the left.
