Drumharriff Lough

Drumharriff Lough covers 2 ha with 470 m of shore in County Monaghan, 6.9 km south of Carrickmacross.

Getting to the water

A public road or path on the map comes within 51 m of the shore, along about 100 m of it. That is what the map contains. It is not a statement that the public may walk there, because OpenStreetMap does not record permission, and nobody has checked this lake against its owner.

Where this comes from

The outline, the name and the identifiers are OpenStreetMap records, 2 of them merged here into one lake. Correct it there
What this site measured
The area and the shore are worked out from that outline. The stretches of shore a way reaches, the walk in from a car park and every distance on this page are worked out here, on this site’s own graph of the OpenStreetMap ways, last built on 2026-09-20. These are this site’s calculations, not the map’s, and a mistake in them is a mistake here.
