Lough Key Forest and Activity Park

About

Lough Key Forest & Activity Park is a sprawling 800‑acre sanctuary on the banks of Lough Key in County Roscommon, drawn by lush woodland, vivid wildlife and a rich tapestry of history. The park’s heart is the iconic Rockingham House, a 19th‑century estate now a hub for guided and self‑guided tours that wander through historic tunnels and a towering viewing platform. Adventurers will fall in love with the world‑first Tree Canopy Walk, offering panoramic vistas, while the Boda Borg center challenges groups with 47 mind‑bending quests. For those who prefer water, the serene lake hosts boat tours and kayaking adventures. Families can enjoy the Adventure Play Kingdom and the expansive playground, while walkers, cyclists, and nature lovers savor the seamless network of trails. With a visitor centre, café, and a weekly “Family Fun Day,” Lough Key delivers a seamless blend of adventure, history, and tranquility that feels both grand and intimate. Typical Visit Most guests spend between three and five hours exploring the main attractions, though the park can easily accommodate all‑day itineraries for those keen to experience every trail and activity. Whether you arrive on foot or by car, the park’s free entry and family‑friendly atmosphere make it an accessible retreat for all. Best Season The park welcomes visitors year‑round, but the most enjoyable months are May through August when the weather is mild, wildlife is active, and festivals such as the Night & Day Celebration add extra excitement.
