Portroe

Portroe, perched above Lough Derg, offers breathtaking views of the lake and the surrounding countryside.

A must-visit is The Lookout, located on the road between Ballina and Portroe. From here, enjoy panoramic vistas across Lough Derg to Clare and up the River Shannon toward Galway. Map boards and picnic tables make it an ideal stop for travellers between Nenagh and Ballina/Killaloe.

Photographers will love capturing stunning shots of cruisers navigating the lake, while the site’s proximity to Castlelough burial ground and Castlelough Amenity Park adds a touch of history to the experience. A spectacular viewpoint not to be missed!
