Glenariff Forest Park 🌳 📍Waterfoot, Co. Antrim Beautiful, scenic forest with waterfalls, multiple trails and lots of variety. It’s easy to see why so many walkers and dog owners love this place. With 4 main trails ranging from 0.6 - 8.9km, you could spend anywhere from 1-4 hours here. We have taken all trails and would recommend the Rainbow or Scenic Trail for the beautiful views, limited crowds and open space. The paths vary a lot: some are easy and well-maintained, while others can be steep, uneven and muddy, especially after rain, and involve steps and steeper climbs.  Dogs are required to be on-lead especially where there are steep drops, boardwalks or along rivers. While you will encounter dogs off-lead, visibility is generally good with plenty of time to react. This is definitely a walk worth doing! 💡TIP: Use GPS or bring a map as some trails are hard to navigate. 🏠Facilities: -Large car park (£5 admission) -Public toilets -Visitor Centre & Cafe 👍Pros: -Stunning scenery, waterfalls and views -Multiple trails -Rivers to paddle in 👎Cons: -Signage/mapping can be confusing -Weekends, holidays & summer can be busy 🐶Our ratings: Cleanliness 4/5 Space 3/5 Quietness 3/5 Off lead 3/5 Fun 4/5 🌻Reactive friendly: Yes, but it depends on which trail you choose, timing, and preparation. Most trails require dogs on leads but there are always some off. While the Scenic Trail does have some narrow paths and steps, it is much longer and more challenging, so you are likely to pass less people. The Viewpoint & Rainbow Trails are shorter, easier loops with wider paths and even better if you go early or late to avoid crowds. The Waterfall Walk is very popular with limited space to pass/tight sections so this trail is not recommended. 💜Perfect for: -Those who enjoy longer, scenic hikes -Those looking for a more challenging walk -Dogs who enjoy varying terrains. 💾Save this post for your next walk! #nidogwalks #northernireland #dogsofnorthernireland #dogfriendlyni
