Lough Neagh

Northern Ireland's Lough Neagh is a freshwater lake. With a surface size of 151 square miles, it has the largest lake in the island of Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the entire British Isles. 40% of the water in Northern Ireland comes from there. Upper River Bann and River Blackwater are its principal inflows, and Lower River Bann is its principal outflow.

The public is welcome to use and enjoy Lough Neagh, which is owned by the Earl of Shaftesbury. Around the lake, marinas and water sports facilities provide boat rentals in addition to activities like banana boating, canoeing, sailing, windsurfing, and wakeboarding.

It feels like an ocean because of its enormous seas. This is Lough Neagh, the largest lake in Ireland and a place that reverberates with culture, tradition, nature, and beauty. It's a place of limitless views, racing skies, and unique visitor attractions.

It's off the usual path yet full of amazing walks, great bars and restaurants, and gorgeous scenery. For those visitors who would like to avoid the water, the lake's shoreline is a great place to go cycling, hiking, or even play a round of golf. Due to the abundance of different bird species that dwell close to the lake all year long, it is also a refuge for birdwatchers.
