Meenteog is a broad-topped hill lying above some great coums among the Glenbeigh hills and is often walked as part of various circuits around these hills. There's plenty of v. steep ground to the N so care needs to be taken in poor conditions. Widespread views abound from the vicinity of the summit and these incl. local dramatic cliffs and lakes as well as the Reeks, Dunkerron hills and over to the coast.

N. Park carefully at V63600 85099 A and head up the steep slopes of Knocknaman while fine views open up over Coomsaharn Lake and its adjacent crags. The steepness eases when you reach K and it's a relatively handy walk over bog to M from here. Allow 90 mins.

From the same starting point you can also ascend Macklaun first and then head SW to Meenteog although the going between the two summits is v. boggy and full of tall peat hags.
If you're intending continuing on to some of the other Glenbeigh hills it's best to do some research esp.if looking for exits or escape routes to the N.

SE. You can also approach this hill by parking at the roomy Ballaghisheen Gap [V67082 79147 B} and heading first over the Knocknagapple tops, then Colly and Meenteog East Top before summiting. Allow 2hrs

S. One can start from the farm at the head of Coomaspeara (V63385 80843 C) and follow the prominent track to the col N of Colly before heading north along the ridge over Meenteog's SE Top to the main summit. Allow 2 hrs. Note. We understand that a landowner now (2022) objects to walkers coming this way.

Notable tracks include track/3233, track/3095 and track/2720. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/99/comment/4859/
