YEW POINT AT HODSON BAY IS A PRIVATE TERRAIN MANAGED BY HODSON BAY GROUP Access is strictly restricted to individuals who have completed the registration process and received their access cards from the Reception Desk at the Hodson Bay Leisure Centre Reception. We are working with Roscommon County Council, Waterways Ireland and Failte Ireland to develop a public walkway along the western lakeshore which will include a floating boardwalk. When it is completed this will be a magnificent facility and will be free of charge to the public when developed. In the meantime we have created a looped trail which includes some lakeshore access and a fairy trail for children. The work to date including maintenance of the grounds and ensuring the native indigenous woodland and wildlife species are preserved and protected has been funded by The Hodson Bay Group. Due to the substantial costs involved there is a charge for access to the trail. In addition, due to the special nature of this area we have to manage numbers on the walkway at any one time. As this is a lakeshore trail, there are plenty of our flying friends about, if you don’t want too much company at certain times of year, insect repelant can be helpful.
