River Shannon

The Shannon divides Ireland, with Connacht in the west and Leinster and Munster to the east and south. The river flows through 11 of the counties of Ireland. There are several lakes on the Shannon, including, Lough Allen, Lough Derg and Lough Ree. Two canals connect with the Shannon, including: the Royal Canal and the Grand Canal. The River Shannon has historically had great strategic importance attached to it in military encounters.

The Shannon provides excellent opportunities for water sports and is a very popular tourist attraction in the summer months. The river is relatively slow moving because it only falls 60 feet in the first 150 miles of its course.
