Killykeen Forest Park, State forest in Killeshandra, Ireland
Killykeen Forest Park extends over 240 hectares along Lough Oughter, containing Norway Spruce, Sitka Spruce, Ash, Oak, and Beech trees.
The forest management falls under Coillte and the National Parks and Wildlife Service, which maintain the natural heritage of County Cavan.
Local fishermen gather at Lough Oughter throughout the seasons to catch pike, bream, and perch in the connected lake system.
Four marked walking paths ranging from 500 meters to 4.6 kilometers guide visitors through the forest, with facilities including parking and picnic areas.
The forest houses Cloughoughter Castle and Gartnanoul Court Tomb, while providing protected habitats for wintering birds under EU directives.
