Their are a number of trails around the park, short, long and everything in between. The lake walks are relaxing and can be quite enjoyable. On hot Summer days a dip in the lake can be risky as the water never seems to heat up, however lying on the grass can quickly warm one up. This is a great way to spend the day, just relaxing on the grass. Sections of the park have wild deer which you can watch but I'd advise from going to close. Muckross Abbey and Muckross House are attactions which are well worth the visit. Muckross Abbey is free to enter and can be very eerie at times. The House is free to enter also but donations are encouraged. Attached to Muckross House are the Muckross Traditional Farms. These farms are working farms and show how Ireland advanced throughout the ages. Well worth the small entry fee. Like the rest of Killarney however, tourism has really made the town rather tacky and if not timed rightly, a trip to the National Park can be quite uncomfortable. Other than that, it's an brilliant place to go!close

This is a part of the beautiful Ring of Kerry attraction. To take a trip to the lake and admire the beautiful of the nature is indescribable in words.

Really enjoyed the walking in the national park. Although the weather is not nice, the feeling back to the nature is great!

A must for any visitor to Killarney, the National Park has amazing sights for great pictures, including a lake. You can walk, cycle or for an even better experience, take a horse-drawn jaunting car tour! The locals you come across there are very friendly too!
