ONE of the county’s main geopark sites “will be open intermittently in the weeks ahead” as the responsible authorities continue to clear up the mass devastation caused by Storm Éowyn.
Significant damage has been caused at the Lough Navar Forest and Scenic Drive in the storm.
It’s understood that the tourist hotspot will reopen to the public this weekend, with a spokesperson for the ‘Derrygonnelly Village’ Facebook group sharing images of the damage caused.
“We are delighted to update that Lough Navar Forest, with the exception of Blackslee Waterfall Trail and Lough Slawn which remain closed, will be open to the public,” the group said.
“Lough Navar Forest will be open intermittently in the weeks ahead and we will keep you updated on that. Huge thanks to our ranger team and our partners, particularly in Northern Ireland Forest Service, for their continued efforts in the ongoing clear up post Storm Eowyn.”
However, due to significant damage caused, Belmore Forest remains closed to the public.
One of the worst weather incidents to occur in Fermanagh in decades, thousands of homes across the county were left without electricity and power for a number of days.
It was the most powerful and severe storm to hit Ireland since Hurricane Debbie in 1961, with wind records breaking an 80-year-old record for the country.
Tully Castle in Monea, Aghnaglack Trail at Ballintempo Forest, Castle Caldwell Forest, St Mogue’s Island and Cornagee Viewpoint were also closed, but have since reopened to the public.
