Hotels in Lough Corrib, Ireland
Lough Corrib sits in County Galway, bordered by the rugged Connemara region, and is Ireland's second-largest lake, famous for its wild brown trout and salmon fishing. The climate stays mild and damp year-round, with summer temperatures around 60°F (15°C) perfect for a boat tour to explore its 365 islands and the 12th-century ruins of Ashford Castle, while autumn's cooler 45°F (7°C) days offer prime fishing with fewer crowds. In winter, you can hike the nearby Maumturk Mountains for views over the lake, and spring brings quiet paddling opportunities in the lake's quieter eastern bays.
