Much of the bog-land that was used for peat production is now under water, as a lake was created to encourage wildlife into the area. The lake is a common location for bird watching, and a wooden hut allows for a discreet view of the lake. A gravel road runs through the reserve leading eventually to further lakes, a heritage site, and onwards to Lough Boora.
Much of the wetland area that was formerly used for peat extraction is now an aquatic ecosystem, created by the construction of a lake. This lake attracts wildlife and has become a popular destination for birdwatching, with a wooden shelter providing a concealed viewing platform. A gravel path connects the reserve to additional lakes, a historic site, and eventually leads to Lough Boora.
