Lough Currane

The lake behind the village, known for salmon and sea trout angling, with parking and picnic tables on the shore.

Lough Currane lies just east of Waterville, separated from Ballinskelligs Bay by the narrow strip of land the village stands on; the short Currane River joins the two. It is one of the best-known salmon and sea trout lakes in Ireland. There is parking and picnic tables on the shore, and early Christian church ruins on Church Island in the lake.
