This walk is on metalled road with minimum climbing involved.   There are excellent views of Lough Mask to the south east and to the west the Partry Mountains.  The Owenbrin river cuts the walk in two as it drains the plateau to the west.  The power of the river in flood may be gauged from the deposits of gravel and silt that have been carried down from the hills.  Most of the low flat area between the road and the lake is underlain with delta silts and gravels.  There is a sign posted detour to a picnic area by the lake shore, opposite Wild Duck island.
