Straddling counties Sligo and Leitrim, this picturesque lake is famed for fishing as well as its beautiful waterfall , and was referred to by Yeats in The Stolen Child. The surrounding countryside is best enjoyed by walking east and taking the steep trail north to the valley.
From Drumcliff it's less than 5km to the lake's western shores. There's one bus Monday to Friday, two on Saturday from Sligo .
