Welcome to Ireland's Newest Cruise Paradise, The Shannon-Erne Waterway!

The reconstruction and re-opening of the old Ballinamore /Ballyconnell canal has created a new cruising concept. It has opened up for exploration and enjoyment a hitherto undiscovered region of natural beauty and a wide variety of cruising waters....

The waterway is unique in that it includes within its length stretches of still-water canal, canalised river and a series of scenic lakes.

 

The waterway crosses the watershed between the upper reaches of the Shannon and the Erne - thus creating a cruising paradise where little towns and pubs lay along side the water and where the pace of living, is relaxing, friendly, intimate.

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 Shannon.

 

Here there is the choice of going downstream to Carrick, 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.

Eastward leads you through a chain of lakes 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, hertige and shopping.
