Carrick-on-Shannon

River port and county town of County Leitrim, Republic of Ireland; population (2002) 2,700. Situated on the River Shannon, 60 km/37 mi southeast of Sligo town, it is an angling centre and has a marina for cruisers. In 1994 the Ballyconnell–Ballinamore Canal was reopened here, the final link in the Shannon–Erne Waterway (navigable length 382 km/239 mi). The town serves as an administrative and recreational centre due to its location on the Shannon and on the main Dublin to Sligo road and rail routes.

The town received its charter in 1613. Features include an 18th-century bridge across the River Shannon and Costello Chapel (1877), which is reputed to be the second-smallest chapel in the world. There are also a number of Georgian houses and shop fronts.

There are 41 lakes within a 10 km/6 mi radius of the town.
