Lough Derg is the largest lake on the longest river in Ireland, and with its wooded isles, rocky bays and tree-lined shores is an enchanting place. The lake derives its name from an ancient Irish legend. It is about thirty miles long. We offer rowing boats, fishing boats with outboard engine and pedal boats.
