Paddling near Virginia, Co. Cavan

Virginia sits on the southern shore of Lough Ramor in County Cavan, a broad, island-dotted lake that is the centrepiece of paddling in the area. Jet-skis are prohibited on Ramor, keeping the water calm and well-suited to kayaks, canoes and SUP boards. The wider Cavan lakeland — including Lough Oughter and Lough Sheelin — extends the paddling options considerably across sheltered, interconnected waters.
