Lough Derg Blueway - Kilgravan to Skehanagh
Exit Kilgarvan travelling left (south west) in the direction of Coolbaun Quay and marina (1km). Pass this headland and the restored stone marina just before Bellview point, and travel towards the long narrow strip of Goat Island (4km), where it may be possible to have lunch, the wind and water on the southern side can be rough here. Then pass the next broad headland, Curraghmore Point, where you travel east towards the grassy quay at Skehanagh. There is also the option of entering into the partially hidden reed channel marked by two wooden poles and the well sheltered Black Lake about 100 meters south of Skehanagh.
Difficulty: Suitable for intermediate paddlers, exposed to prevailing winds for large sections.
