Covering 383 square kilometres, Lough Neagh is the largest freshwater lake in the British Isles and is one of the earliest known inland sites of prehistoric man in Ireland. It is generally shallow with an average depth in the general body of the Lough of 9 metres (30 feet).
The area around Lough Neagh is one of the most important bird habitats in Western Europe. A haven for wildlife and home to a wealth of flora and fauna, Lough Neagh provides a unique and valuable natural resource, offering a very productive eco-system, which supports thousands of wildfowl and a large-scale eel fishing industry.
The road is narrow, with passing points for cars, and is also used by walkers in good weather, so please drive with due care.It affords a good view of the Lough, and the many swans along the shoreline. It also has swarms of Lough Neagh flies at certain times of the year, and annoying as these can be, I promise they do not bite!
There is roadside parking close to the cache on the wide section of the road. The cache is a small box containing only a log and pencil. Please ensure that the cache is tucked in out of sight before you leave.
