Dereen Lodge is not only situated on the renowned Costello & Fermoyle Fishery (salmon and sea trout), but is also a perfect base for fishing throughout Connemara and beyond. The Costello and Fermoyle Fishery is immortalised in the book “A Man May Fish” by Kingsmill Moore and Dereen Lodge is situated mid way up the Fishery, overlooking Fermoyle and Dereen Loughs. Loughs Corrib, Mask and Carra (Brown Trout) are all within an hours drive as are the Dawros/Kylemore, Ballnahinch, Inagh salmon and sea trout fisheries to name a few. Sea-fishing by charter boats is available out from Rossaveal and Spiddal harbours.

There are many sports clubs locally which include GAA, Soccer, Rugby, Badminton, Boxing a Gym and much more.

It is a popular holiday area for Irish speakers being in the heart of the Connemara Gaeltacht and also attracts many visitors who come to appreciate the wonderful scenery in the area. Several of the early Christian sites in the vicinity have been associated with the saints of Aran but the area appears to have been inhabited at an even earlier age by prehistoric people.
