Paddling near Belturbet, Co. Cavan
Belturbet sits at the heart of County Cavan's lakelands, where the River Erne flows through a maze of drumlins, islands, and interconnected loughs. The area is one of Ireland's most rewarding flatwater paddling destinations, with the River Erne, Lough Oughter, and Upper Lough Erne forming a vast, sheltered network suited to kayaks, canoes, and SUP boards alike. The Marble Arch Caves Global Geopark adds a layer of geological and archaeological interest to time on the water.
