About

A family-run adventure hub on the leafy western shore of Lough Derg where the Blueways meet the Greenways — paddle calm river channels, tackle a Fittest Family-style obstacle course, or simply hire a boat and explore the lake at your own pace.

Things to Do

Kayaking

Sit-on-top single and double kayaks explore sheltered channels towards Reddan's Quay or out onto Lough Derg. All equipment (wetsuit, helmet, buoyancy aid) is included. Watch for white-tailed sea eagles nesting nearby. Shorter 2-hour Pay & Play taster sessions with safety boat cover run evenings and weekends.

Kayaking

Paddleboarding (SUP)

Stand-up paddleboarding on Lough Derg's tranquil waters suits all abilities. Instructors get you started; 1.5-hour sessions include helmet, buoyancy aid and paddle. Wetsuits available on request.

Obstacle Course

A challenging outdoor course with monkey bars, balance beams, climbing towers and a ropes course, all set around a running track. Run it as a fun family experience or a competitive team challenge — it is built to push athletes out of their comfort zone.

Lake Boat Hire

Hire a lake boat and explore Lough Derg on your own terms. Life jackets, fuel, fishing equipment and local advice all provided. Perfect for a self-guided day with a picnic. Call 085 1577482 for boat hire.

Canadian Canoeing

Take a Canadian canoe out on the calm, winding channels that lead onto Lough Derg. A sociable way to experience the Blueway with friends or family while soaking up views of the Sliabh Aughty and Bearnagh Mountains.
