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 Ballyronan

Ballyronan grew from a forge and quays that Daniel Gaussen built on the north-west shore in 1788; a distillery and a brewery followed, and barges of around 50 tons traded with Belfast. Today the old harbour is a Blue Flag marina and caravan park run by Mid Ulster District Council. Visiting boats may stay up to seven nights on jetty one, and the council asks you to book by phone. Around the basin are slipways, a play park, picnic areas, glamping pods on the water, a viewing platform over the lough and wetland trails through the five-acre Ballyronan Wood. The village has a small supermarket, a chip shop and pubs. Lough Neagh’s Stories runs guided trips from the marina with a seventh-generation fisherman. In season, clouds of harmless, non-biting Lough Neagh flies may hatch along this shore.
