Lough Conn (Irish: Loch Con, meaning 'lake of the hound')[2][3] is a lake in County Mayo, Ireland. With an area of about 48 square kilometres (19 sq mi), it is Ireland's seventh largest lake.[1] With its immediate neighbour to the south, Lough Cullin, it is connected to the Atlantic Ocean by the River Moy. Lough Conn is noted for its trout and salmon fishing.[4] The ruins of a priory exist at Errew Abbey.
