Paddling near Killorglin, Co. Kerry

Killorglin sits on the River Laune in County Kerry, where the river runs from the Killarney Lakes down to the town before emptying into Castlemaine Harbour. The area draws paddlers to a mix of moving water and flatwater, with the Laune itself a well-known kayak and SUP route, Caragh Lake close by for calm-water touring, and Kerry Canoe Club — based in Killorglin — running whitewater, sea kayaking, surf kayaking and lake paddling across the wider region.
