Torc Waterfall
Torc Waterfall
Torc Waterfall is one of the most visited natural attractions in Killarney National Park, County Kerry.
Fed by the Owengarriff River draining from the Devil's Punchbowl — a glacial corrie lake on Mangerton Mountain — the cascade drops approximately 20 metres (66 ft) and stretches around 110 metres in length.
It sits just off the N71 Killarney–Kenmare road and lies along both the Ring of Kerry drive and the Kerry Way long-distance trail.
The waterfall's Irish name, Easach Toirc, translates as "cascade of the wild boar," a reference tied to legends surrounding the warrior Fionn MacCumhaill and a magical boar said to have been slain on nearby Torc Mountain.
The fall is best seen after heavy rainfall, when the river runs at full force. A short, easy walk through mossy, shaded woodland leads to the base, and a flight of steps beside the falls offers elevated views across the Killarney lakes.
