Lovely area. However the cafe was was too expensive. The cafe staff was very rude, they need some sort of training on how to deal with a customers, it felt like I had burdened them, Very disappointing.

Stopped here to break up the journey west. Nice place to sit and enjoy our lunch (pre-packed). Unfortunately the visitor centre is closed, so no access to facilities. The bins around the area were overflowing with lots of rubbish on the ground, due the council strike.

Excellent facilities, clean and staff are friendly. The new play park is excellent and very popular. Some lovely walks and an excellent location for a good run.The one issue and the one that took away the 5th star is the hot food. The sausages are very obviously of the lowest standard possible and chips are little better. Dont go for the hot food please.

Great place to get out and walk along the shores of Lough Neagh in county Armagh. Lots of parking available, picnic spots, playgrounds, walking trails, space for water sports and relaxation. There is also the Lough Shore Information Tourist Centre for anyone who fancies learning about the sites wildlife and history. Recommend walking to Kinnego Bay Marina and then heading back towards the Oxford Island Tourist Information Centre for anyone who likes a reasonably long walking experience

Needs maintenance to both jettys , needs picnic tables replacing , some of the steps in the woods are a bit unsafe , basically needs some money spending on upkeep.But that aside , as a haven for wildlife it succeeds , I saw some species Ive not seen elsewhere a miniature duck im not sure of their species name (a breeding pair& great crested grebe .

Great reserve with walking trails, a marina and a cafe at the visitor center. It is beautiful and the walking trails along the lake make it a welcome retreat. The one boat ramp is closed and inoperable. Take your time and walk around and enjoy nature. It was windy when we enjoyed it but the weather was sunny and beautiful. Picnic tables and barbecue area for all to enjoy!

Plenty of activity over the weekend in both the Marina and further up at the Discovery Centre. Once the (Mayflies have disappeared the air becomes breathable again. Cafe at both locations, also electric car chargers.Toilets and washing facilities as well. Great spot for the kids with swings again at both locations. The NEW activity park at Discovery Centre is as good as they get. Plenty of Woodland walks also.

Lovely spot for the kids. New play park is amazing. Good toilet facilities. Big downside is the cafe - location is amazing and its a real pity they havent made more of it. But food was terrible. Bring a picnic!

Great place to spend time with kids. There is a new playground there now. Looks really nice. Cafe could be open longer hours as in cold days it would be great to take a sit there and watch birds. This is the only reason no 5 stars.

Great little escape onto the water a few weekends ago. Perfect for some entry level paddle boarding with plenty to see and relatively steady water.

When its the holiday season this place is packed with everyone seemingly coming for bbqs and chilling out, it has water sport facilities but if you are late there is no point coming here at all.

Beautiful place for a leisurely stroll. Trails are good, although stoney would be suitable for single buggy. Play park looked popular.

Such an ideal little spot to relax and take in the tranquility and peacefulness of the lough. Come for a wee bit and stay for a day. You cant but help love this place.

It was okay. Didnt go to the marina or avail of any indoor activities though Im not sure what they were. Couldnt find nice walk though I think there is one up to marina. Theres a playpark and couple of people paddle boarding. Loads of Lough flies too, though probably typical for May/June. Not sure Ill be rushing back here. But glad I checked it out. Best thing was wee baby ducks we happened to see

Oxford Island nature reserve, the Discovery centre and Kinnego marina make up one combined area for walking, water sports and bird watching. Its located off the M1 at junction 10. There are various places to park and you need to give yourself about 2 hours to cover the whole area. Theres toilet facilities, a cafe, childrens play areas, a caravan site and glamping pods.

A great place to cycle. It has good trails and nice views. Would usually cycle here during good weather with friends. I would recomend it for cycling enthusiasts or for someone who just wants to be outdoors.ps. Just observe covid 19 protocols though.😁

Brilliant place to go on your own or with groups of children, just to get outside. Lots of little paths to follow and wildlife to look for.
