The lake is located about 10 kilometres northeast of Sligo and about fifteen kilometres west of Manorhamilton. It is 2.5 km long from west to east and 0.6 km wide. The lake has two crannogs : one at the western end near the Drumcliff River outlet and the other at the eastern end near the Diffreen River.
