Coosan Point

Coosan Point sits on the southern tip of Lough Ree in County Westmeath, near Athlone, and serves as a key access point along the Shannon Blueway.

Waterways Ireland maintains a car park and dedicated put-in/take-out points here, making it a practical launching spot for kayakers and paddleboarders heading out onto the lough.

The point is also valued as a quiet local retreat, offering shoreline walks and open water views. Athlone town, which has both bus and train connections, is the nearest transport hub for those arriving without a vehicle.
