This beautiful, private lake lies within Rathcon Farm at the foothills of the Wicklow Mountains. Rathcon has been farmed by the O’Mahony Page family since 1830, and the lake is a hidden gem set apart from the Christmas tree fields for which Rathcon Farm is well known. The lake offers a natural, tranquil setting for a country escape with a variety of personally-planned events and activities for pri
vate groups. Gourmet Picnic:
Our catered gourmet picnic by the lake offers something different for those birthdays, family reunions, group outings or just friends getting together. We cater for private groups of 10 or more in this lovely environment where you can switch off and relax with the whole lake to yourselves, while indulging in a delicious, seasonal homemade rustic spread. On those rare rainy or more common… sweltering hot days we have a fishing hut and marquee to provide shelter…! For sport:
For those groups who would like some adventure while enjoying the surroundings, we offer activities such as Clay Pigeon Shooting, Fly Fishing, Archery and Air Rifle. Expert tuition can be provided in all or just a fun group competition. Craft Beer & Wine tasting:
Our neighbouring brewery Beaky Dargus www.beakydargus.beer has a selection of delicious, craft beers of which a tutored tasting can be organised there or by the lake. Wine tasting with our wine expert, can also be arranged and tailored to your interests. For children:
For parties including children, we can arrange for some family entertainment such as egg and spoon races, sack races and other mini-fun. Pricing:
