Description
In one account, Lough Conn was created when Fionn mac Cumhaill was hunting with his hounds; Conn and Cullin. They came across a wild boar. Finn and the hounds attempted to chase it. However, as the boar ran, water poured from its feet. The hounds ran ahead of Finn and evenally Conn was ahead of Cullin. Conn chased the boar for days until a lake appeared. The boar swam back to land but Conn was drowned. This happened again in the south to Cullin.
Lough Conn (Irish: Loch Con) is a lake in County Mayo, Ireland and covers about 14,000 acres (57 km). With its immediate neighbour to the south, Lough Cullin, it is connected to the Atlantic by the River Moy. Lough Conn is noted for its trout and salmon fishing.
According to another account, the name means in Irish the lake of the hounds. The story is that the fierce hounds of the chieftain Modh pursued a wild pig into the lake, where they drowned.
