Lough Gara is quite a large lake located 20 miles from Knock Airport
and 5 miles north of Ballaghaderreen. It has about three thousand acres of surface
water split into three lakes. This is a noted pike fishery, frequently recording
double figure fish to 25lbs +. It holds very good stocks of bream and
roach. Lake depths vary from 3ft to 45ft.
Facilities and Access
There is very good public access on two
lakeshores. One is at Clooncunny Bridge on the southern shore of the lake. The
second is on the northern shore at Cloonloo. Facilities include a concrete jetty, 2 boat slipways and 4 fishing
stands, including one wheelchair stand provided in the main by the Shannon
Regional Fisheries Board. The wheelchair stand is located on the
southern shore of Lough Gara about two miles from the village of Monastadan, 5
miles from Ballaghaderreen.
To get there
From Ballaghaderreen take the R293
road north and continue for 3 miles, go straight through the crossroads and continue for 1.5
miles to Monastraden village, turn right in the village for the southern shore
and continue for about 2.5 miles. The lake is located adjacent to the road.
