Enjoy the peace and isolation on Lough Gara where you hardly ever see another boat, just ducks, geese, herons, swans, lapwings, curlews and if you’re really lucky maybe an otter.
Have a nature lesson from the boat learning to recognise the different spices and learning about their lifecycles and habitats. Also visit the Crannogs and learn about the history of Lough Gara.
Experience the Lough Gara Nature Trail – a unique experience as the trail is followed in a boat. Jimmy is the guide and will show you Lough Gara’s natural beauty and wildlife. From the water view the land from a different perspective, learn to recognise different species, and hear about their lifecycles and habitats.
Visit one of Lough Gara’s Crannogs, man-made islands on which people used to live, some of which date back over 2000 years
