Navigation on the River Bann and Lough Neagh System stretches from 5 miles North of Coleraine at the mouth of the Lower Bann at Castlerock, to Blackwatertown in the Southwest, to Moneypennies Lock in the South on the presently closed Newry Canal South of Portadown and Antrim in the East.
You get there in max 40 from Belfast. Amazing views, walked all the way from the train station to the gardens and then around on the shore of the lake, passing the golf field. Maybe in season there is more activity, but definitely worth it if you appreciate some quiet time outside the city.
