About the site

Cloghan Wetland is a 55 hectare site comprising of an angling lake – Loch Clochan, several natural ponds and wetlands, open birch-willow woodland, grassland and naturally recolonising Scot’s pine.

Loch Clochan is a four hectare angling lake that was developed in 1997 and stocked with rainbow trout. Only fly-fishing is permitted on the lake which is operated on a ‘put and take’ basis by Cloghan Angling Club. Permits are available from Daley’s Londis Supermarket in Cloghan - details of open season and restrictions can be found on the Angling Club information board located in the car park.

The site is also a nice location for a tranquil walk, its 3.5 km pathway taking you around the lake, along the wetlands and through the open birch-willow woodland.
Parking facilities, picnic areas and information boards are located on site.
