Lough Eidin, also known as Drumharlow Lake or Lough Drumharlow, is a lake in Ireland, located west of Carrick-on-Shannon. It connects the Boyle River to the Shannon.
Wildlife
Roach, bream, brown trout and rudd are the main fish.[1][2]
There are extensive callows on the shoreline, which is proposed as a Natural Heritage Area. A flock of Greenland white-fronted geese (Anser albifrons flavirostris) feed there.[3]
