The Monaghan Way provides a blend of quiet country roads, cross country paths, riverside walkways and lakeshore approaches. It’s designed to showcase the area’s rich heritage and natural beauty.

The walk is accessible and enjoyable, featuring gentle slopes and flat stretches, with no steep climbs. Much of the route follows a disused railway line, reaching a maximum altitude of just 125m.

Spanning almost 18km from Inniskeen to Lough Muckno, the Monaghan Way can be completed as a long single day walk or split into two shorter days. Additionally, three loop walks provide opportunities to experience shorter sections of the trail.
