We took the trail that was supposed to take 50 minutes or so. It was well graded and gravelled and well marked. However, you aren't really walking to anything. There is a couple nice overlooks of the lake, and the walk through the forest is pleasant, but if you need a goal to motivate you, this doesn't have one. There... More

We drove through the park while driving the Ring of Kerry. We stopped at the Torc Mountain walk and hiked a bit. Several small and one very large waterfall is only a short walk from the road. Any age can walk to the waterfall as it has a slow gradual incline. There is a river leading to it and several... More

Worth the quick 5 minute walk to see the waterfall. Lovely moss covered rocks, lots of photo opportunities here.

We chose the easy 'yellow' trail. Beautiful scenery and so nice to get out and about walking after we had driven much of the day in the Ring of Kerry. Fantastic views and fascinating, diverse vegetation for kids to observe. I was really taken by the carpet of moss covering everything. Wear hiking boots or sneakers (highly recommend bringing these... More

We did the hike with four children (13 to 2 years old), choosing the "yellow" trail. Even the kids were impressed by the falls and all of the moss-covered trees and rocks. The falls are quite close to the car park, but we continued on up the hill. Despite the steady rain, the views from the top were impressive and... More

This is worth the effort to have the great view from the top. Not really a taxing walk but enjoyable on a sunny April morning, think best to go in the morning and see the day break,
