Surrounded by patchwork countryside, the clear water of Lough MacNean is an impressive sight. The lake straddles the border of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland in two parts – the Lower and Upper Lough MacNean. A strip of land separates the two sections of the lake, where you will find Belcoo and Blacklion villages.

In the 1970s, a major drainage operation was carried out at the lake which changed its shape and affected its wildlife. The lake was once home to many eels, but they dropped in numbers after the changes.
