Starting from the South Lakes Leisure Centre, this is a good warm up before selecting another routes and heading into the rest of the network. You can travel in either directions on wonderfully smooth tarmac. You'll pass under the Portadown–Lurgan railway line at 2 points on the trip, one through an underpass and the other where the South lake drains into the North.
Half-way around the top lake you can take a quick detour into Tannaghmore Gardens and Farm - there's also a play-park if you're with children. Back again toward the Leisure Centre where there's a café and other facilities. You might want to load up another route at this stage and go exploring further into the Black Paths.
