Carrickaport lough (Irish: Carraig an Phoirt, meaning 'rocks of the bog [port, a bog here]')[4][5] is a freshwater lake in Kiltubrid parish, south County Leitrim, Ireland. Drumcong village, and Lough Scur, lie nearby. Carrickaport lough is known for quality bream and pike fishing.[6] The ecology of Carrickaport lough, and other county waterways, is threatened by curly waterweed, zebra mussel, and freshwater clam invasive species.[7]
