Lough Erne

Lough Erne (Irish: Loch Éirne) refers to two lakes in Ireland, situated along the River Erne. This waterway is found in the orthwest, with the lakes located in County Fermanagh and County Cavan. The river flows in a north-westly direction, beginning by flowing north, and then curving west into the Atlantic. The southern-most lake is further up the river and so is named Upper Lough Erne. The northern lake is Lower Lough Erne.
