The Camac and the Poddle
The Camac River
The Camac- also spelt Cammock - rises in Ballinescorney and flows through Clondalkin through Corcagh park. It is 25.6 miles long. It later flows into the river Liffey. It has two lakes on it in Corcagh park. These are put and take fishing lakes; there is a trout lake and a course fishing lake which have been stocked. There is an abundance of wildlife, flora and fauna to be found around the banks of the Camac particularly as it flows through Corcagh Park
The River Poddle
The River Poddle rises in Cookstown in Tallaght. It flows into Dublin City and splits at Mount Argus in what is known as the Tongue. The two rivers later converge and flow thorough Dublin in a culvert. The underground river enters the Liffey at Wellington Quay
The Poddle used to supply water to the city up untill the 13th century when water from the Dodder was diverted and used
