Sustainable Travel
Sustainability is very important to us at Lough Derg and we love to offer visitors alternative ways to travel around the beautiful countryside. Pick up a cruiser and spend your days travelling around the towns and villages at the edge of the lake at your own pace, pulling up for food, music and craic or staying on board for a perfect chilled sunset on the water. Hire a bike to explore the trails through shady forests, lush foliage and along river routes, stopping off for picnics by the lake or to refuel at one of the many cafes and restaurants across the lake. Or go on foot for a hearty hike across the mountain ranges or a relaxed meander along the miles of trails.
Sustainable Travel
Slow down and relax
Lough Derg is the perfect place to slow it down. For a romantic getaway, a family holiday or a trip with friends. You can pick from micro adventures, road trips and glamping. Whatever floats your boat.
Whatever your choice, you can slow down, de-celerate and put on the brakes, for the perfect go-slow break.
