Lough Dan
Loch Deán
Lough Dan covers 1.0 km² with 6.3 km of shore in County Wicklow, 4.6 km east of Roundwood.
Getting to the water
A public road or path on the map comes within 5 m of the shore, along about 850 m of it, and there are 2 more stretches 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.

Where it is
The pin sits from the main access point on the shore, and every distance on this page is measured from that same point. The other pins are the nearest lakes in County Wicklow.
Directions in
Parking, viewpoints and stops
Everything here is measured from the main access point on the shore. A viewpoint is a place that looks at the lake, which is not the same as a place on it.
Parking
No mapped car park within two kilometres has a walking route to this shore. That is a gap in the map rather than a statement that there is nowhere to park.
Viewpoints
None mapped within 2.5 km.
Nearest stops
No bus stop or station is mapped within two kilometres.

About these directions
Public transport times come from National Transport Authority. Timetables cover 2026-09-18 to 2027-09-19. These are scheduled services; check with the operator for cancellations and changes before travelling.
Walking and driving times are estimates. A town search starts at its centre; choose your location or a point on the map for a more precise starting point. Eircode search is not available.
How journey planning worksDestination, access and nearby stops

Roundwood is the nearest settlement, 4.6 km east of the lake. Arriving in Roundwood is not arriving at the water, so the journeys below are worked out to the water and say so when they cannot reach it.
Stops near it
No scheduled stop was found within 2.5 km of Lough Dan. On-demand services may not be included.
Getting to Roundwood covers the journeys into the town itself.

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 Q287141.
- 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.
