A lovely small clearing with a few picnic tables and the Yellow Water river running beside it.
The small car park is a good place to leave the car for one of the many walks in this area.

Red Bog Pond

Highlight • Natural

Nice and peaceful place with a bench that's perfect for resting weary legs and watching the wildlife around the lake.
Even with the new gravel path this area can get quite boggy so best to wear the boots.
