Venue Description:
Fermanagh
is an ideal destination for the canoeing enthusiast with its magnificent lakes
of Upper and Lower Lough Erne providing a 50 kilometre expanse of water linking
with the Shannon.
The Lough Erne Canoe Trail was presented the Innovation Award at the 2008
British Urban Regeneration Waterways Renaissance Awards becoming the first
Northern Irish project ever to win such an award. Lower Lough Erne
and its rugged shoreline provide a vast expanse of open water where large waves
can build during windy periods – an ideal venue for the experienced paddler! In
stark contrast the Upper Lough provides good shelter with its maze of bays,
narrow channels of slow flowing water and innumerable islands and peninsulas –
offering a superb venue for the whole family.
