The River Camoge or Camogue (;
Course
The River Camogue rises in
County Tipperary near
Emly. It enters County Limerick and is bridged by the R513, R514 and R516 outside Hospital, and meets the
Mahore River. It flows northwards through
Herbertstown and then turns westwards, flowing under the R514, R512 and R511 before entering Greybridge, where it gives its name to the
Camogue Rovers GAA club. The Camogue flows on under the R516 and drains into the
River Maigue in Anhid East, about upriver of Croom.
Wildlife
The River Camogue is a
brown trout fishery.
