Lough Allen Canal at Drumshanbo
Lough Allen Canal at Drumshanbo
The Lough Allen Canal was constructed 1818-1822 to carry commercial traffic from Lough Allen through to the Shannon at Battle Bridge near Leitrim village - primarily coal from the mines at Arigna (the River Shannon is too shallow immediately south of the Lough). Commercial traffic ceased in 1930 but the Canal was reopened for pleasure craft in 1970 and connects Lough Allen to the extensive Shannon Waterway system.
