Lough Funshinagh

Loch Fuinseann

Lough Funshinagh covers 3.4 km² with 15.7 km of shore in County Roscommon, 5.0 km north-west of Rahara.

Getting to the water

A public road or path on the map comes within 21 m of the shore, along about 150 m of it, and there are 3 more stretches like it elsewhere on the shore. 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.

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

No mapped car park within two kilometres has a walking route to this shore. That is a gap in the map rather than a statement that there is nowhere to park.

Viewpoints

None mapped within 2.5 km.

Nearest stops

No bus stop or station is mapped within two kilometres.

Where this comes from

The lake itself
The outline, the name and the identifiers are OpenStreetMap records. Correct it there Figures marked Wikidata come from Q24196537.
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.
