Cam Lough (Crooked Lake), the largest lake in the Ring of Gullion Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is a disused reservoir and a premier coarse angling location. Unpolluted water and low levels of nutrients contribute to the diverse aquatic plant life of the Lough whilst the banks are home to a variety of nesting birds amongst the marsh and scrub cover.
Directions: From Newry, drive through Camlough and then take the Crossmaglen Road. You will pass the lake on your left. The road drives along the dam, giving easy access, but the lake is also used for water sports, so a walk to the far end can be well worth the effort.
