D Irl 13023: (Gearagh)

Near Macroom the expanse of water that is The Gearagh covers more than 300 acres. The waters of The Grearagh are harvested for the benefit of the hydroelectric station at Inniscarra, downstream on the River Lee’s winding journey from Gougane Barra to Cork Harbour. Some old woodland had to be chopped down in advance of the creation of the present-day Gearagh, with the result that – at certain times – old tree stumps appear out of the base of the lake. Many interesting and colourful birds and animals make The Gearagh their safe and natural habitat.

On a tranquil evening in summer it is possible to become enchanted by the wonderful show of colour, light and shade that Mother Nature provides.
