Ireland occupies an area of 84,421 square kilometers (32,595 sq mi), which is similar in size to the Czech Republic or Georgia (in Europe). One key feature in the Republic of Ireland is the Shannon River which flows 161 miles in a southerly direction to the North Atlantic Ocean. Not only is it the longest river in Ireland, but it’s also the longest in all of the United Kingdom.
Along the Shannon River, three main lakes flow within its path. First, the uppermost is Lough Allen near the source of the Shannon River. Next, Lough Ree is the middle and second-largest lake. Finally, Lough Derg is the southernmost of the three major lakes on the Shannon River and the third-largest in Ireland.
