Castlefore Lough (Irish: Loch Bhaile Choille Fóir, meaning 'lake of the townland, or homestead, of the wood') is a mesotrophic freshwater lake in County Leitrim, Ireland. Known for good coarse fishing, the lake has limited bank fishing. The ecology of Castlefore Lough, and other county waterways, is threatened by curly waterweed, zebra mussel, and freshwater clam invasive species.
