Navar Forest Park is administered by the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development's Forest Service. Within the forest area there is a superb 11.2 km scenic drive, cliff-top viewpoint and a touring caravan site. There are three lakes open to Department permit holders – Achork, Glencreawan and Meenameen. Fishing is not permitted in the fourth lake (Lough Navar). Achork and Meenamen contain good stocks of brown trout supplemented by 7500 takeable brown trout. Fish respond well to nymphs and small dark patterned wet or dry flies. Arguably the most attractive DCAL fishery.

These lakes are considered ideal for family outings as there is beautiful scenery, picnic areas and forest walks. Car-parks are at the water’s edge at Glencreawan and Meenameen and alongside the adjacent forest road at Achork

From Enniskillen by A46 and B81 through Derrygonnelly 14.5 km following the forestry signposts (scenic drive).
