Whether you are a boat enthusiast, historian, archaeologist, or fisherman, you will find something of interest in our inland pages on the Barrow Navigation, the Erne System, the Grand Canal, the Lower Bann, the Royal, the Shannon-Erne Waterway and the Shannon Navigation. These rivers and canals are of interest for a range of interests: rambling, flora, fauna, fishing, sailing, motorboating, waterski-ing and narrowboats.

The network is maintained by Waterways Ireland. It is one of the six North/South Implementation Bodies established under the British Irish Agreement in 1999. The body has responsibility for the management, maintenance, development and restoration of inland navigable waterways principally for recreational purposes. It maintains locks, loughs, lakes, channels, buoys, bridges, harbours and tow paths.
