    Muckross Lake is also known as the Middle Lake (the other two being Lough Leane and Upper Lake), or the Torc, for its proximity to Torc Mountain. It is Ireland's deepest lake at 75 meters maximum depth. Legend has it that it is inhabited by a monstrous eel. As said eel has not been defeated by a saint as yet, it must be harmless. Trout and salmon fishing are legal in the lake.

      Hike around the lake is highly recommended and varied.

        You should definitely hike around the lake. An easy round with some alternatives to the paved path. It is an experience that you will not soon forget.
