Search by name or street, or pick a day and a time and see which of them the map says are open then. The map and the list show the same set.

22 of these have no opening hours on the map, so nothing here can say whether they are open. They stay in the list unless you ask for hours, because hiding them would be answering a question nobody can answer. Distances are from the centre of Galway, in a straight line.

Questions people ask

How many lakes are there in Galway?
22 that the map records, 15 inside Galway and 7 within twelve kilometres of it. That is how many the map holds, which is not the same as how many there are: anything nobody has mapped is missing, and anyone can add it.
Which lake in Galway is open now?
The map records opening hours for none of them, so this page cannot say. Each one links to whoever runs it.
Where is the nearest lake to the centre of Galway?
Lough Atalia, 950 m east of the centre, measured in a straight line.
Where does this come from?
The mapped places in this list come from OpenStreetMap, including contact details and opening hours where recorded. MyMap calculates the distances and ordering. Individual place pages may also include sourced descriptions and visiting details; check the linked venue or business for current information.
