This Coillte Forest Recreation Area has mixed woodland rising steeply to the summit of Black Mountain (506m) with many kilometres of forest roads and tracks. There are three way marked trails in the forest, the Táin Trail, the Ring of Gullion and the short but interesting Ravensdale Loop.

The forest is rich in archaeological features, and has many interesting features such as standing stones, bridges and old driving roads.

The Táin Trail, named for the legendary Bull of Cooley, enters the forest at the southern end of the forest near Curralhir Bridge and follows forest roads and tracks to continue over the mountains into Omeath on Carlingford Lough.
