Lough Ennell

Lough Ennell is a lake near the town of Mullingar in Westmeath. It is approximately four-and-a-half miles long by two miles wide wide, with an area of about 3,540 acres, though shallow throughout most of its expanse: almost half is under ten feet deep.

Lough Ennell is dotted with islands, many of which have now become attached to the shoreline as the levels of the lake have changed. The main river flowing into Lough Ennell is the River Brosna, which enters on the Mullingar side of the lake and exits on the opposite side at Lilliput. (Read more)
