About Keshcarrigan

Keshcarrigan sits on the summit level between Lough Scur and Keshcarrigan Lough, about 10 km from Leitrim, and is the only village on the waterway’s highest stretch. Its marina is one of the best equipped on the line: shore power, a pump-out and a slipway, plus a service block with toilets, showers and laundry. In the village, Gertie’s Bar and Restaurant has long been a favourite canal stop; Waterways Ireland also mentions a cake shop and several B&Bs. Above the village rises Sheebeg, an ancient burial site. The Keshcarrigan Bowl, a small Iron Age bronze cup with a duck’s-head handle now in the National Museum in Dublin, was found in the channel between Lough Scur and Lough Marrave. From 2 November 2026 the summit level between locks 8 and 10 closes for about three months of maintenance, so boats cannot reach Keshcarrigan for most of the winter.
