The Lecarrow Canal (Irish: Canáil An Leithcheathrú) is a 1.5 km navigable canal in County Roscommon, Ireland, connecting the village of Lecarrow to Lough Ree.[1][2] Constructed in the 1840s to carry limestone from a quarry to Athlone for construction projects by the Shannon Commissioners, it first fell into disuse after 17 years but was cleaned up in 1889[3] and was dredged in the 1960s by the Office of Public Works.[2]
