Carrybridge

Carrybridge sits on the eastern shore of Upper Lough Erne in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, and serves as a key access point for recreational boating on the lough.

Home to the Carrybridge Boat Company, it is a popular base for self-drive canal boat holidays and multi-day cruises across the waterway's 160 miles of navigable waters, which connect to the broader Shannon-Erne Waterway.

The area draws anglers, paddlers, and wildlife watchers to its sheltered bays, and it is noted as a popular waterskiing location. Canoeists passing through Upper Lough Erne often route via Carrybridge between Belle Isle and the river section to the south.

The village of Lisbellaw is the nearest settlement for supplies, roughly a 40-minute walk away, while Enniskillen lies approximately 7 miles to the southeast via the B46.
