A truly fascinating lake, and of remarkable historical significance. There are several ancient lake dwellings on the lake, most with well defined causeways. I had a cuppa in a hut on one of the islands and noticed "Ballinahinch Stn" painted onto a piece of timber.
I was later told that this was not actually a fishing hut, but was built by Marconi who was considering a transmitter at nearby Lehanagh The remains of the old pier are still evident. There is a similar hut at the North end of the lake, a little more exposed, and very battered.
There is a perfectly defined glacial scar right up the lake. I'm reliably informed that this is a classic basin and reigel (bar) structure caused by glacial overdeepening.
The lake produces Salmon, Sea Trout, Brown Trout and Ferrox.
