Description
This area in the west of Ireland is called Connemara. It is a stunningly beautiful part of Ireland and this lake is well known for its trees on the island with the lovely backdrop of The Twelve Bens mountain range. I have never seen the island in the sunset so this was a rare occasion - and without rain!
Derryclare Lough is located about 20 km (12 miles) east of Clifden on the N59 road. The Twelve Bens mountain range lies to the north of the lake, with the Ben of Derryclare 677 metres (2,221 ft) overlooking the lake itself.
Derryclare Lough is fed from rivers from Lough Inagh, which itself is fed from several mountain streams in the area, but most importantly from the Gleninagh River that starts high up in the Gleninagh Valley on the slopes of Benbaun and Bencollaghduff, and the Tooreennacoona River. Derryclare Lough flows into Ballynahinch Lake, where it eventually joins the Owenmore River, and flows into Bertraghboy Bay.
