Inniscarra Lake is a manmade lake on the course of the River Lee in County Cork. It is a reservoir formed in the 1950s when Inniscarra Dam was constructed by the Electricity Supply Board.[1] Construction of the dam commenced in 1953, with its floodgates first closed in 1956 and the reservoir fully formed by late 1957.[1]
The National Rowing Centre is located on its banks[2] and the Irish National Rowing Championships and other regattas are hosted there. The Coupe de la Jeunesse, a European youth rowing event, was held on Inniscarra Lake in 1999, 2008 and 2018.[3]
Fishing
