Lough Allen

Highlight • Lake

The triangular-shaped Lough Allen is a beautiful lake on the River Shannon, out of which the Shannon takes it source. Measuring 9 miles (14.5 km) long and 3 miles (5 km) in width, the lake is an impressive sight.

Humans have been present at the lake for thousands of years. Mesolithic traces such as more than 1,000 stone tools made from flint, chert, quartz, mudstone, and basalt were discovered at the lake.

Today, the lake is a wonderful place to relax and take in the biodiversity. The water quality is excellent, although the lake's ecology is unfortunately under threat from invasive species such as curly waterweed, like many other lakes in Ireland.
