Lough Neagh: each harbour sets its own stay limit and fee — ask first
Lough Neagh’s harbours and marinas are run by the councils and clubs around the lough, and each sets its own stay limit and fees: ask the harbour before you stay. (The Lower Bann’s public moorings have no time limit.) Lower Bann and Lough Neagh boater information from Waterways Ireland

About Antrim
Antrim meets Lough Neagh at its Lough Shore Park, where the Six Mile Water runs into the north-east corner of the lough. The council park has a jetty and a slipway, a caravan park, a playground and The Gateway, a visitor centre with an exhibition on the lough, the Boathouse restaurant and café, and the Antrim station of Lough Neagh Rescue. The Joyce, a Second World War boat that recovered practice torpedoes on the lough, is moored beside it, and a six-metre steel Finn McCool by the sculptor Casto Solano looks out over the water. Antrim Boat Club sails from the woods along the shore towards Shane’s Castle. The council closed the jetty in summer 2023 because of blue-green algae and in 2024 decided to ban jet skis from its slipways. A path beside the river leads to Antrim Castle Gardens.
