Images of the Lake

Lough Derg is the largest lake on the River Shannon. Its 13,000 hectares stretch 35 km from Portumna at its northern tip to Killaloe/Ballina at the most southerly point, and 12 km at its widest point, from Scarriff on the western shore to Youghal Bay on the eastern side.
The lake is also very accessible by several slipways and there are many sheltered harbours and marinas dotted around its shores. Lough Derg is navigable over its total length of just under 40 kms, from Portumna at its northern tip to Killaloe and Ballina in the south, and also has access to over 200 kms of navigable inland waterways.

Lough Derg is a wonderful amenity and aptly named Ireland’s pleasure lake. The range of activities is stunning.

Days can be spent cruising, fishing, cycling, walking or relaxing by the lakes shores.

For the watersport enthusiast the facilities are world-class. Good sailing breezes ensure topclass conditions for sailing and windsurfing.
