Review:
Killarney National Park was the first national park in the country. It preserves and protects more than 25,000 acres of diverse ecosystems, including the Lakes of Killarney, mountain peaks, and woodlands. The park is home to the only native herd of red deer in the country and the largest remaining native forest tract. The park is open for year-round tourism, and visitors should start at the visitor center at Muckross House. Other attractions in the park include Dinis Cottage, Inisfallen Island, the Meeting of the Waters, Ross Castle, the Muckross Peninsula, the Torc Waterfall, and many more. There are several paved multi-use paths available for hiking and biking, several of which offer stunning views of the area. Boat trips are also available on the lakes.
