Maghery Walk
 
This walk forms part of Sli na Rossan (National Waymarked Way) but is an excellent short walk on its own. Shortly after leaving the beach/car park you are in quiet countryside with excellent views over the Rosses and out towards Aranmore Island.
 
The Owennamarve River
 
The Owennamarve River drains a dozen small loughs into the sea south of Dungloe. It gets a run of salmon and sea trout. The best of the fishing is from July to September. Access is at the bridges. 
 
Rosses Anglers Association
 
The Rosses Anglers Association has fishing on over 130 lakes in West Donegal. The town of Dungloe is the centre from which the angler makes his way to fish the various Loughs. These lakes hold salmon, sea trout and brown trout and all of them are within a five mile radius of the town. Pemits to fish and boats can be arranged. A detailed angling map and guide is available.
