Canoeing and kayaking in Northern Ireland


A family in a boat motors near Crichton Tower on Gad Island at Crom, County Fermanagh

Lough Erne

The lakes of Lough Erne are made up of rocky bays, narrow channels and scattered islands. It even has a canoe trail so you can start and finish in the same place. Go ‘island hopping’ along the calm waters of Upper Lough and stop off at the bustling villages that dot the shoreline.
