Cruising Area

Riversdale Barge on Shannon Erne Waterway IrelandCruise the River Shannon, the Erne and the Shannon-Erne Waterway in the comfort of a traditional wide beam barge.  With the construction of the Ballinamore-Ballyconnell Canal it has made way for an undiscovered, unappreciated part of the Country that locals like to keep a secret.

Westward, the waterway leads you through the St.John’s Lakes and Lough Scur, visiting Ballinamore, Keshcarrigan, Kilclare and Leitrim to the upper reaches of the mighty River Shannon.

Here there is the choice of going downstream to Carrick On Shannon, Drumsna, Dromod and Rooskey, or upstream towards Lough Allen, or Acres Lake beside Dumshambo with its recreational amenity or up the Boyle River into beautiful Lough Key where you can explore the lovely Lough Key Forest Park.

Eastward leads you through a chain of lakes e.g Garadice lake with inviting islands and abundant wildlife to Ballyconnell, and thence onto Upper Lough Erne and its islands, quiet mooring, Crom Castle, Carrybridge, and to Enniskillen with its activities, heritage and shopping.
