The Lough Derg Way is a long-distance trail in Ireland. It is 68 kilometres (42 miles) long, beginning in Limerick City and ending in Dromineer, County Tipperary. It is typically completed in three days.[1]
It is designated as a National Waymarked Trail by the National Trails Office of the Irish Sports Council and is managed by Shannon Development, Tipperary County Council and Tipperary Integrated Development Company.[2] The trail was reconfigured and relaunched in 2011 with many sections taken off-road aided by an investment of €115,000 under the Comhairle na Tuaithe Walks Scheme, which supports landowners to maintain trails that cross their land.[3]
