Mullaghnagowan River

Cork, Munster Grade: 4 - 5 0.13km

Edit River

Brief Description

Two drops, just upstream of the town. The first is very rocky starts narrow and widens out. A small pool follows and then straight into the second drop a very narrow slide barely wide enough for a boat. Paddle out into the bay just below the town and walk out. I only took a quick look when passing through the town. Looked interesting but not a whole lot of water on it I don't know what sort of level would be best run in but I said I'd stick it up anyway.

River Description

Two drops. First 7-10ft. a small pool and then another very tight drop/slide 14-18ft. Very deep gorge afterwards leading out into a bay area leading into Glandore Harbour.

Safety & Access

Hazards

Possible serious blockages. Limited access for rescue.

Access Issues

No real idea, took a look from a site which had a sign saying no trespassing so access right above the drops isn't great.

No gauge is linked to this guide yet.

If paddlers check a gauge before running it, you can help. Suggest the gauge, and the levels it needs if you know them. Once an admin approves it, this guide shows the live level, a level history and how the river usually rises and falls through the year.
