Water

Small freshwater lake in an exposed Atlantic-island setting

Experience

Local-school / lodge briefing required

Hazards

Cold water, rapidly changing Achill weather, gusts and wind shadow, shallow margins, other lake users and no public-source rescue guarantee.

Parking & access

Pure Magic Lodge at Slievemore overlooks Keel Lake. Contact the operator before treating its grounds, gear or instruction as available; the lodge is seasonal.

“A current Ireland community reply identifies Pure Magic Lodge as sitting on a good Achill wingfoil spot with school activity. Achill Tourism corroborates the lodge's exact Keel Lake location, but current wingfoil services require confirmation.”
