Binevenagh Lake
This upland lake commands a cliff-topsetting overlooking the picturesque Benone strand and Donegal. Fishing with dry sedge can be excellent on summer evenings. Disabled angling facility is available. The fishery can be very exposed in inclement weather and anglers should be dressed appropriately.
This artificial lake is on a cliff-top in a forest area overlooking Benone strand. In all seasons, anglers should wear warm, suitable outdoor clothes as the fishery is exposed.
See Loughs Agency for further information.
