Green Lough

Green Lough covers 2 ha with 780 m of shore in County Cavan, 1.0 km north-west of Cavan.

Getting to the water

A public road or path on the map comes within 9 m of the shore, along about 300 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.

No openly licensed photograph of Green Lough was found. Rather than show a picture of somewhere else, this page shows none.

Where it is

The pin sits from the main access point on the shore, and every distance on this page is measured from that same point. The other pins are the nearest lakes in County Cavan.

Parking, viewpoints and stops

Everything here is measured from the main access point on the shore. A viewpoint is a place that looks at the lake, which is not the same as a place on it.

Parking

An unnamed car park is 40 m away, and the walk from it to the shore is 10 m along mapped paths. The map records nothing about a charge.

Walking and driving times are estimates. A town search starts at its centre; choose your location or a point on the map for a more precise starting point. Eircode search is not available.

How journey planning works

Cavan is the nearest settlement, 1.0 km north-west of the lake. Arriving in Cavan is not arriving at the water, so the journeys below are worked out to the water and say so when they cannot reach it.

How do you get to Green Lough without a car?
The nearest stop in the national timetable is Aldi Cavan, 100 m from the main access point on the shore in a straight line, and bus C1 call there, run by TFI Local Link Cavan Monaghan. The planner on this page works out the walk from that stop, and where no footway joins it to the water it says so rather than making a number up.

Where this comes from

The lake itself
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.
