Lough Neagh, Freshwater lake in Northern Ireland, United Kingdom
Lough Neagh stretches across 151 square miles with a maximum depth of 82 feet, making it the largest lake in the British Isles.
Archaeological discoveries at Toome Bay revealed ancient human artifacts, establishing the lake area as one of Ireland's earliest inhabited regions.
The lake supports traditional eel fishing methods passed through generations, with local fishermen maintaining specialized techniques specific to these waters.
Multiple rivers, including the Upper Bann and Blackwater, feed into Lough Neagh, which provides 40 percent of Northern Ireland's drinking water.
The lake bed remains under private ownership of the Earl of Shaftesbury, while the Lough Neagh Partnership manages its conservation efforts.
