Kilgarvan Quay is located off the Lough Derg Drive between Coolbawn Quay and Ballinderry. If coming from Portumna/Birr/Banagher direction head for Terryglass and then drive straight through onto Ballinderry. Then just over the bridge the road bends to the right (which is the Lough Derg Drive). Drive along this for around 3km and then you will see a sign for the restaurant, Brocka on the Water, and for Kilgarvan Quay. Take this right turn and continue to the quay. At the Quay: Please park in the car park area and then walk down to the Red Shed, there you find us! Please respect and don't litter the beautiful quay
