: Is Lough Leane worth paddling? or possibly Upper Lough? For the
: views. (Looked like the only places you would be able to get to
: by car...)

The Torc area of Muckross lake is a good take off point with parking possibilities. It is also where the Killarney Park Rangers have their offices. One has to OK it with them as they are trying to keep infestations of zebra mussels out of the lakes. Boats that have been used in the ocean are fine. If you use your boat on fresh water they will want to know where. It is worth contacting them before making the journey, just in case.

Apart from the hastles above, the possibilities are endless. It is possible to make the journey to the upper lake as well as Lough Leane. There would be a few day's worth of exploring in it, with some interesting history and archeology to be enjoyed as well. The whole area is very beautiful.

Really, Killarney is all about the lakes and the mountains. The town itself Borders right onto the park though and is a good billet.

If the lakes fail due to bureaucracy one can always move on to Dingle Bay or down my way to Kenmare Bay
