Paddling near Gort, Co. Galway
Gort sits in south County Galway, close to the limestone karst of the Burren fringe and within reach of some of the west of Ireland's most rewarding paddling water. Lough Cutra lies just a few kilometres from town, and the broader region puts paddlers within striking distance of Lough Corrib, Lough Derg, and the River Shannon — each a well-established destination for kayaking and canoeing in Ireland's midlands and west.
