Davagh Forest Park

Ten miles north west of Cookstown, Davagh Forest covers 1,500 hectares. The forest is largely upland coniferous set in the foothills of the Sperrins.

Activities

There are no facilities for recreational activities provided. The public are welcome to visit this forest on foot.

There is a circular waymarked trail with fishing stands that takes walkers around Lough Fea and is accessed from the Cookstown District Council car park.

While there are no formal trails in Davagh, walkers may use the forest road for leisurely walks. Part of the road network is tarmaced. Organised motor rallying events are permitted, provided clubs meet the licensing requirements.
