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
