Still Lough

Still Lough covers 2 ha with 690 m of shore in County Donegal, 8.8 km south of Ardara.

Getting to the water

No public road or path on the map comes within sixty metres of any part of this shore. That may be because the land around it is private, or only because nobody has mapped the way in. Nothing here tells the two apart, so this page says neither.

Parking, viewpoints and stops

Everything here is measured from the middle of the water. 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.

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 works
Destination, access and nearby stops

Still Lough is in Ardara, County Donegal. The only point the map gives for this lake is the middle of the water, and no public way was found reaching its shore. Routes below stop where they can and say where that is.

Ardara is the nearest settlement, 8.8 km south of the lake. Arriving in Ardara is not arriving at the water, so the journeys below are worked out to the water and say so when they cannot reach it.

Questions people ask

Can you walk to Still Lough?
No public road or path on the map comes within sixty metres of any part of the shore. That may mean the ground around it is private, or only that nobody has mapped the way in. This page does not say which, because it does not know.
How big is Still Lough?
2 ha, with 690 m of shore, measured from the outline OpenStreetMap holds.
Where can you park for Still Lough?
The map records no car park within two kilometres that a walking route reaches. That is a gap in the map rather than a statement that there is nowhere to park.
How do you get to Still Lough without a car?
The nearest stop in the national timetable is Portnoo, 560 m from the middle of the water in a straight line, and bus 994 call there, run by TFI Local Link Donegal Sligo Leitrim. The planner on this page works out the walk from that stop, and where no footway joins it to the water it says so rather than making a number up.

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.
