Families can fish for trout or salmon, see the waterfall mentioned in Yeats' poetry, or go for a walk on one of the many trails around Glencar Lake.
Straddling counties Sligo and Leitrim, Lough Glencar lies in the Glencar Valley framed by high mountains and dramatic steep cliffs. Glencar Lake is a freshwater lake and is 3km long and 750 metres wide. Fish for trout or salmon, visit the waterfall immortalised in Yeats' poetry or take one of the many walking trails available.
