Kilgarvan to Skehanagh

​7.7 km one way – 2 hour 40 min one way

Suitable for intermediate paddlers

Head east from the recreation park and follow the navigation markers into the Shannon River. Be cautious of rough waters where the Shannon meets the lake, especially during high river flows, and steer clear of the angling stands on your left.

Paddle under the N65 bridge, then return along the opposite side of Hayes Island. Watch out for large wakes caused by motor cruisers and water-skiing craft in the river. A scenic and adventurous route!
