Keshcarrigan Lough (Irish: Ceis Charraigín loch, meaning 'Kesh, or causeway, near the little rock, lake')[3] is a mesotrophic freshwater lake near Keshcarrigan in County Leitrim, Ireland. Known for quality coarse fishing, the lake allows bank fishing from concrete stands on the northern shore, two with wheelchair access.[1] The ecology of Keshcarrigan Lough, and other county waterways, is threatened by curly waterweed, zebra mussel, and freshwater clam invasive species.[4][5]
