A little known historical spot around Clare, Park your vehicle at the gate and take a walk to find this cache.
This reservoir is located close to Clare and just off one of the local scenic roads. Ohlmeyer Fauna & Flora park (as it's now known) was originally the Railway reservoir. This catchment supplied water for the steam trains at the railway station, apparently gravity fed, and probably following the low lying areas to the station where it was stored for use by the trains. The secluded site has seen it's share of misery over the years with 2 drownings in 1969 and 1974. It's a pretty walk around the water and keen birdwatchers will find a variety of local birdlife in attendance. For anyone in need of a spot of fishing, redfin can be found both in these waters and Inchiquin Lake in Clare. Enjoy your visit to this little slice of Clare.
