Castlefore Lough (Irish: Baile Choille Fóir, Loch, meaning 'townland, or homestead, of the wood, lake')[4] is a mesotrophic freshwater lake in County Leitrim, Ireland. Known for good coarse fishing, the lake has limited bank fishing.[1] The ecology of Castlefore Lough, and other county waterways, is threatened by curly waterweed, zebra mussel, and freshwater clam invasive species.[5]
