Lough Derg Blueway - Dormineer to Garrykennedy via Tamona Little and Youghal Quay
Difficulty: One of the longest trails on the Lough Derg Blueway, this is suitable for intermediate paddlers in good weather. It is possible to reduce the distance by stopping at either Tamona Little (6.25 km) or Youghal harbour (8.2 km).
Travelling left from Dromineer beach (west), and then around the forested headland (1 km), you gradually turn south past a small private harbour around the bay and then a narrow forested headland, Ryan’s Point. Turning east you gradually pass twelve private harbours and arrive at Little Tamona a small rock and grass quay just before the bank curves around to the south. In good weather an experienced group can cross directly to the small harbour at Youghal 800 meters away, or follow the bank to Youghal Quay and Garrykennedy along a tree lined shore.
