Roosky is an ideal angling destination. The local rivers and lakes are well stocked with roach, perch and bream. Other outdoor activities include watersports, horse-riding and walking along the broad and majestic River Shannon.

The harbor marina and pubs of the lovely village are especially busy in the summer months. It is a perfect location for visitors wishing to explore Leitrim, Roscommon and Longford. Holiday homes in this area provide a great touring base.
