Lough Muckno
Loch Mucnú
Lough Muckno covers 3.6 km² with 23.1 km of shore in County Monaghan, 1.2 km west of Castleblayney.
A public road or path on the map comes within 6 m of the shore, along about 1.4 km 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.

An unnamed car park is 660 m away, and the walk from it to the shore is 960 m along mapped paths. The map records it as free.

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 Q24196535.
- 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.
