About Portumna
Portumna Forest Park is a 600-hectare recreational woodland on the shores of Lough Derg in County Galway, Ireland. The name derives from the Irish 'Port Omna,' meaning 'landing place of the oak tree,' reflecting the area's historical connection to native oak forests. Acquired by the state in 1948 from the Clanrickarde family estate, the park has been developed by Coillte as a premier public amenity combining forest walks, lakeshore trails, and rich biodiversity. The park offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore diverse woodland habitats while enjoying panoramic views of one of Ireland's largest lakes.
