Gortin Glen Forest Park

Gortin Glen Forest Park is situated six miles North of Omagh at the Western gateway to the Sperrin mountains. This Forest Park was first opened in 1967 and, embracing some 1534 hectares of ground it has the distinction of being the first Forest Park to be established in a purely coniferous wood land. This forest was originally planted for the sole purpose of timber production.

A major recreational feature of the Forest is the five mile long drive which offers some breathtaking views. A number of vista parks have been created where the motorist can pull in and take time to enjoy the magnificent scenery.

Throughout the park are specially selected marked trails, which are designed for use by schools and youth organisations. They can be tailored to suit virtually any age or ability. The Park offers basic camping for youth organisations. All camping is by prior arrangement with the Forester in charge.

The Forest is open every day of the year from 10am until Sunset.
