Caragh River

The Caragh River, January 1960

The River Caragh is a river in County Kerry in southwestern Ireland.

The river is relatively unpolluted and its catchment area of about 66 square miles (170 km2) comes under the protection of a Special Area of Conservation ("Killarney National Park, Macgillycuddy's Reeks and Caragh River Catchment"). This is one area in which the rare Kerry Slug is known to occur.
