Conkers Waterside Lake sits within the wider National Forest Conkers site in Moira and is a great choice for families and casual walkers looking for an easy, scenic route. The paths around the lake are mainly flat and well-kept, making them suitable for relaxed strolls, pushchairs and steady walks.
As you loop the lake, you’ll spot small sculptures and features tied to the forest theme, along with open views across the water and surrounding woodland. It’s especially popular at weekends and school holidays, when families combine the walk with other activities nearby.
While it feels peaceful and natural, the area benefits from nearby facilities at Conkers Waterside, making it more accessible than remote nature trails.
