Cummeragh River

The river is a natural lake fed channel that holds it water for a long time after rain.

When you get on at Cahersavane bridge the land is soft and boggy and the river flows gently around a few bends before picking up the pace.

From then on the river stays continuous grade 2 or 3 for just over 3km. There are a number of drops on the river ranging from a 1m to 1.5m high.

The river twists and turns regularly so maintaining line of site requires a lot of effort at times.

The banks are steep and thorny so any swimmers will be slow running down stream chasing their gear.

Eventually a paddler arrives at Lough Currane where there is a scenic 1.4km flat water paddle to the get out.
