No published time limit at the piers

Lough Corrib is not a Waterways Ireland navigation: there is no published time limit at the piers. Anglers and the cruise boats use them too, so keep landing steps and departure berths clear. The navigation, from IWAI Corrib

About Galway

Woodquay, on the east bank of the River Corrib just above the Salmon Weir, is where Galway meets its lake. Steamers Quay takes its name from the steamboats that carried passengers and cargo up the Corrib from here; the St Patrick ran to Cong until 1914. Today it is the boarding point for the Corrib Princess, whose 90-minute guided cruises head upriver onto Lough Corrib between April and October. Fáilte Ireland names Steamers Quay and Annaghdown Pier as the easiest ways onto the lower lake. Several rowing clubs share this stretch of river, so look out for crews. The city centre, with its shops, pubs and restaurants, is a short walk away, and the free Galway City Museum is on Spanish Parade. Upstream, the river runs under the Quincentenary Bridge towards Menlo and the lake.
