Join me on a trip to Coumishingaun Lake

You’ll find Coumshingaun Lake tucked away in the breathtaking Comeragh Mountains, a short spin from the glorious Mahon Falls. It’s a 20-minute drive from Dungarvan, a 35-minute drive from Waterford City and a 30-minute drive from Clonmel (Tipperary). You park at Kilclooney Wood Car park for this hike. Stick ‘Coumshingaun Lough Car Park’ into Google Maps and it’ll take you straight there. Now, a warning – this place fills up fast at the weekend, so try and arrive early. The Walk is hard and it gets very challenging in places, so good fitness levels are needed. There’s plenty of scrambling over rocks in places. The Coumshingaun Hike isn’t one you do without proper preparation – this trail is treacherous in places. The trail is hard to follow in places, so the ability to navigate is required.
