Welcome to Llyn Llech Owain Country Park an area of 64 hectares, managed for your enjoyment by Carmarthenshire County Council.
The Country Park’s central feature is the lake itself, which is surrounded by peat bog.
The rest of the park consists largely of coniferous woodland, planted by the Forestry Commission during the 1960’s, but there are also areas of dry heath and broad leaved woodland.
A network of footpaths provides for some enjoyable walking. Many paths are well surfaced and accessible to wheelchair users, and a specially constructed path allows safe access over the peat bog and around the lake. A forest track provides a longer walk or cycle ride around the Country Park, and there is a rough mountain bike trail for the more adventurous cyclist.

The round the lake walk has always been accessible to wheelchair users. Recently however the path has suffered due to a flooding problem at one point and with erosion uncovering the structural timbers. These problems are being given priority at the moment and the route will once again be wheelchair friendly
Please note that as well as this route we have a cafe, toilets, picnic tables, play equipment. The visitor centre exhibition room, all of which are wheelchair accessible and we have designated disabled parking bays.
