Plan for 60km water trails in Cork

A new report has proposed an ambitious new tourist attraction for Cork that would open up its harbour to over 60km of recreational water trails for kayaking, canoeing, and other small vessels.

The Cork Harbour Blueway Feasibility Report, commissioned by South and East Cork Area Development (Secad), examined the feasibility of developing a recreational water activity trail in the greater Cork Harbour area. The report identified major potential trail areas, or Blueways: Cork City Blueway, Lough Mahon Blueway, West Passage Blueway, East Harbour Blueway, and the South Harbour Blueway.
