Waterways Activities

Many come to the rivers and lakes of Ireland to get away from busy city life, relax and enjoy the scenery, beauty and wilderness, however there is a plenty to occupy the more active mind with some lively hustle and bustle.

The wonderful great outdoors provides an array of things to do including walking, cycling, picnics, wildlife watching so bring your binoculars, tiny islands to visit with historical monastic ruins dating as far back as the 6th century.

More leisurely waterside time can be spent sitting back with a line awaiting a bite from brown trout or pike. Get the best catch from your angling by arranging a local ghillie or angling guide.

For the golf enthusiasts, the manicured parkland of the golf courses in the Lakelands region will delight even the golfing veterans, as they overlook the scenic lake shores and natural streams.

There are plenty of more adventurous ways to approach the water, a canoe or kayak, windsurfing, wake-boarding, water-skiing, diving, sailing or jet-skiing across the unblemished lakes which are perfect for any water sport, as if by divine design.

When effortless relaxation is in order, cruising any part of the Shannon-Erne waterway, renowned throughout Europe for its pristine depths, friendly locals and idyllic terrain, is just the ticket.
