Paddling near Ballybay, Co. Monaghan
Ballybay sits in County Monaghan, a county of small lakes and quiet rivers in Ireland's lakelands. The closest paddling water is Lough Muckno, about 11 km away, where guided kayak sessions weave between islands and under the Black Island Bridge. The Dromore River near Cootehill and the broader network of Monaghan's lakes and rivers give the area a low-key but genuine flatwater paddling character.
