Nestled in the Urris Hills the Glenevin Waterfall Park winds up the valley from The Glen House to the spectacular 40ft waterfall.

The walkway contains a number of scenic vantage points with several picnic areas on the way.

The spectacular Glenevin Waterfall is located between Straid and Crossconnel, approximately 2km from the village of Clonmany.

The roadside entrance to the waterfall and picnic area is beside the Glen House, which in turn leads the intrepid adventurer along Glenevin valley.

There is onsite parking available free of charge at the entrance.

The Waterfall

This waterfall, wedge in shape, cascades fresh mountain water descending over black rock from an astounding height of 40 feet.  The expanse at the top measures 15 yards which curls gracefully to 1.5 yards at the bottom.

The basin below called Pohl–an-eas, derives its meaning from the foam which lies on the surface of the pool. Pohl-an-eas translates into English as the ‘ferment pool'.

Waterfall Park, Picnic Area & Vantage Points

The walk up Glenevin valley to the waterfall takes the rambler on a safe route which is well designed and sign posted. Newly installed picnic areas blend easily into the natural landscape and provides the rambler with ample opportunity to relax and enjoy a picnic.

Although the trek up to the waterfall is not so strenuous that it is necessary to stop and eat, it does allow one to stop and take in the spectacular views at a slower and more rewarding pace. However, do not stop to relax for to long as the end result, the waterfall, is unsurpassed by anything else in its league in terms of beauty and splendour in Donegal.

Footbridges are dotted along the track as you criss-cross the babbling stream, stepping stones are available for the adventurous types.

About half way along the trek you can climb a winding path on your right which takes you up the side of the glen to a picnic area at the top with some stunning views out over Tullagh Bay.

Opening Times & Facilities

The walk itself is suitable for all types and is accessible for wheelchair users.  However, wheelchair users may need assistance due to the gradient and terrain of the walkway.
