Surrounded by patchwork countryside, the clear water of Lough MacNean is an impressive sight. The lake straddles the border of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland in two parts – the Lower and Upper Lough MacNean. A strip of land separates the two sections of the lake, where you will find Belcoo and Blacklion villages. In the 1970s, a major drainage operation was carried out at the lake which changed its shape and affected its wildlife. The lake was once home to many eels, but they dropped in numbers after the changes. There are also a number of islands in the lake where the discovery of flint tools revealed evidence of human habitation as early as the Mesolithic period. You can also visit the remains of two crannogs that would have been used as dwellings during ancient times.
