   Car park itself is fine, but in terms of parking here to walk up to the Lough, id say don't bother and go to Ott car park instead. Ott car park is much closer to the mountains and you will get the same nice scenery without the long walk. The lane itself gets very rocky in places. Only positive thing about the lane is that it gradually reveals more of the different mountain views around each corner.

   One of the easier walks up the Mournes, although it gets a lot rockier closer you get to Lough Shannagh.

   A small car park with good access to the Mournes, Holds roughly 15 cars, if it is full I wouldn’t recommend parking on the narrow road which is busy with cars travelling at speed. Start here if you want to climb Slieve Muck or walk up to Lough Shannagh and Doan.

   Lough Shannagh walk is beautiful. A long but steady incline up to the lough with views down towards Kilkeel Cranfield and County Louth. Bring a lunch and eat it at the lough and you won't be disappointed.

   Not much space maybe 8 cars but perfect place to stop have a sandwich before your hike.
