Derryclare Lough is a freshwater lake at the entrance of the Inagh Valley, in Connemara, County Galway, in the west of Ireland. Lost in the middle of mountains and peat bogs, this lake can be recognized by its tree-covered island right in the middle. The lake is a popular scenic location, and extensively photographed, and offers views directly into the Glencoaghan Valley of the Twelve Bens and the peaks of the Glencoaghan Horseshoe, a 16–kilometre 8–9 hour route that is considered one of Ireland's best hill-walks. Derryclare Lough is noted for its lake and river fishing with spring salmon, grilse and sea trout, and the fishing is done from Butts, long piers from the shore.
