Glenbeg Lough

Glenbeg Lough extends 2 kilometers in length and half a kilometer in width, reaching depths of 13 meters in County Cork's southwestern region.

The lake formed during the last glacial period, creating a natural water reservoir that has sustained local communities throughout centuries of settlement.

Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices at the lake, where brown trout, salmon, and European eels constitute the primary catch.

Visitors can access the lake via local roads near Ardgroom village, with multiple entry points available for fishing and water activities.

The lake's surface elevation of 78 meters and oligotrophic classification create specific conditions that support rare aquatic species.
