Negah is the largest lakes in the country with the span of 151 square miles.
This is a freshwater lake and the sides are well decorated for the visitors. The
depth of the lake is around eight feet but the deepest
part of the lake is about
80 feet. The lough reaches to the River Bann and in some parts, it is considered
as the Bann as well for its blend with the river. The lough also supplies a large
portion of the water to the country.
I live in County Antrim and the lake is a 15 minutes drive from my place. I
usually go to visit the lake during the holidays and sometimes we go for a
picnic beside the lake.
During the holidays, we go to enjoy the tranquil
atmosphere of the lake. The skies look gorgeous and bright with the sun.
Besides, bay view is also adorable. So, whenever I can manage time either I
move for the lake with my family or friends and if I cannot manage anyone, I go
there all by myself. This is a place for divine peace and the views are
outstanding. Like me, many other Irish go to pass their
leisure moments by the
side of the lake.
There are many things to do in the lake. Different events and festivals are
arranged by the side of the lake and people from different parts of the country
come to enjoy the events. Most of the events usually begin in the evening and
runs until midnight. But sometimes it causes trouble for me to attend an event
which ends during the midnight and return home. I get
late for office on such
days. So, I try to come back before 9 o’clock. When I with the participation of
friends arrange for personal events like a short picnic or gathering, I try to hold
the event by the day time so that everyone could enjoy and that nobody feels
the urge to return.
I have lots of memories with the lake. A large portion
of my teenage days has
experienced the waves of the lake. I used to come here with my friends and
bath on a side of the lake. Besides, fishing was a common issue for us and then
we cooked the fishes on the shore too and that made us feel completely
thrilled. But with the advancement of time and technology,
the lake view has
been changed greatly. It has turned into a famous tourist spot and thus
different service providers have emerged with their attractive services and
commodities. Earlier, we used to visit the lake at least once a day but with the
extensive crowd of the current days, we cannot manage space to stand there.
Moreover, the crowds gather most in the holidays. However,
the experiences
amid the crowds are enjoyable for me as well. I see and learn diversified issues
from the people visiting the lake.
The lakes in the Republic of Ireland are commonly termed as Lough and Lough
