Local Attractions and Activities Dromineer
The lakeside
village is renowned for its water sports. It hosts many sailing events during
the summer months. Boat trips on the lake are available daily. 
The
harbours also have a flourishing boat club, marine and sailing school. Dromineer
is well known for its fishing and many anglers come in May for the May-Fly fishing.
The Boat club and Yacht club were founded in 1837 making it the third oldest in
the world. The ruins of the castle dominate the harbour. Built by the O'Kennedys
in the early 16th C it was given to the Earl of Ormonde in 1556.
Dromineer
is located on the eastern shores of Lough Derg about 8 kms from Nenagh.
Sli Eala (swan way in Irish) links the historic lakeside village of Dromineer to the
picturesque
bridge and weir at Ballyartella. Set in the heart of Tipperary lakeside, the route
passes through an area of natural beauty with history and legend at every turn.
The walk for part of its length follows the meandering Nenagh River. This river
is home to many stately mute swans, which give the walk its name.Lough Derg Drive

pleasurable areas to visit in the Shannon Region is Lough Derg. This is one of Ireland's largest lakes, (32,000 acres) and is aptly named 'Ireland's Pleasure Lake'.
