The place

About Mountshannon, Lough Derg (Mountshannon Harbour)

Mountshannon is situated around a series of three small piers to the east and adjacent to the main south-facing harbour. On the shore of Lough Derg, Mountshannon is an important area for wildlife in particular birds and fish species. Public access is recorded, although the final approach and usable shore can still change with tide, weather and local conditions. Official information lists parking, toilets and seasonal lifeguard provision; check current availability and local notices before relying on them.
