Paddling near Clara, Co. Offaly
Clara sits in County Offaly in Ireland's midlands, a region threaded with some of the country's most paddled waterways. The River Shannon — one of Europe's great canoe and kayak routes — runs close by, and the surrounding lakelands include Lough Ree and Lough Ennell. Mid Ireland Adventure, based at Banagher on the Shannon, provides kayak hire and is the most accessible local starting point for getting on the water.
