EsknaTrailhd (V63582 65203). Follow Kerry Way until it emerges from wood at A (V62811 65060), and then proceed up a rough, steep track towards the hill. Alternatively you can continue on original track from road through wood as far as B (V631 658), cut through the trees and follow a rough forestry track up the slope.A third, much longer approach involves parking at
Iskgah L E (V59312 65108), bagging the twin Staigue Tops and them making a lengthy trek north-east along a 3.5km ridge and then returning directly down the valley (see track),

Followed Kerry Way until it emerged from wood at A (V62811 65060) where a rough track ascended NW towards Esknaloughoge.
Track descends into pool at one point and you may have to negotiate it very carefully to avoid wet feet.
Very steep ground between Esknaloughoge and Lough Sallagh which can be avoided by traversing east before heading north. Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/756/comment/18660/

Easy two Hills once you get to lake !

Parked where Melohara did at at B however crossed from forest at narrowest point B (V631 658) where there was a short tree cutting track and than headed up the two Esknaloughoges. Just ascend up one of the ridges till you reach the lake and two quick bags await. Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/756/comment/20929/
