Paddling near Castleisland, Co. Kerry

Castleisland sits in the heart of County Kerry, close to some of the most paddled inland waters in Ireland. Lough Léane and the Lakes of Killarney are the marquee destination, drawing kayakers to explore wooded islands, limestone caves and the waters around Ross Castle. Kerry's rivers — including the Flesk, the Blackwater and the Caragh — add whitewater and touring options to the mix.
