Geocache Description:

Lough Ross Amenity Area

There are picnic tables and a basket ball court located here. There are public toilets but I have not seen them open in several visits. There is a public slipway however jet skis may not be used on the lough. There are ample parking spaces along the shore. It is a popular fishing venue.


The Cache

The cache is secured in place and please do not remove the container, simply open it. It has been put in place upside down so be careful of falling log books when you open it. There is no pen so bring your own. If you do not have a pen take a photo of the logbook to prove your find. Visits which indicate the log was not signed and offer no other proof of the visit will be deleted.

The cache is a small container, but enough to hold most coins but not travel bugs. It is camo'd and placed so that even the highest waters cant get to it. It was placed using a kayak on a tiny island about 70m off the shore. The lough is shallow so you might be able to wade to it but I am not advocating this approach. As with any water based activity there are risks so safety first.

If using a boat for this or other caches on the lough be aware that the lough is quite shallow round the shore and the islands and even using a kayak I grounded some distance from land on many occasions.

Kayak/Boat Hire

I dont know of any boat or kayak rental business that services the Lough.
