The best time to go to Carrigallen is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is generally at its finest for outdoor activities.During this period, you can expect longer daylight hours and milder temperatures, making it ideal for exploring the local lakes and countryside. It's the superb time for fishing, boating on Lough Garadice, or enjoying a stroll through the village. The local community often organises events and festivals in the summer, offering a chance to experience the local culture.For those who enjoy angling, late spring (April-May) and early autumn (September-October) also offer excellent conditions, particularly for coarse fishing. The waters are typically less crowded, and the fish are often more active.
