County Kerry
Doo Lough
Doo Lough covers 6 ha with 1.2 km of shore in County Kerry, 4.8 km north of Killarney.
Getting to the water
A public road or path on the map comes within 59 m of the shore, along about 50 m of it, and there is one more stretch like it elsewhere on the shore. That is what the map contains. It is not a statement that the public may walk there, because OpenStreetMap does not record permission, and nobody has checked this lake against its owner.

How journey planning worksDestination, access and nearby stops

Killarney is the nearest settlement, 4.8 km north of the lake. Arriving in Killarney is not arriving at the water, so the journeys below are worked out to the water and say so when they cannot reach it.

Where this comes from
- The lake itself
- The outline, the name and the identifiers are OpenStreetMap records, 2 of them merged here into one lake. Correct it there Figures marked Wikidata come from Q33247027.
- What this site measured
- The area and the shore are worked out from that outline. The stretches of shore a way reaches, the walk in from a car park and every distance on this page are worked out here, on this site’s own graph of the OpenStreetMap ways, last built on 2026-09-20. These are this site’s calculations, not the map’s, and a mistake in them is a mistake here.
