The River Camlin (Irish An Chamlinn - Crooked Pool) is a tributary of the River Shannon. It rises near Granard, flowing through Clonbroney, Ballinalee, Killoe and Longford Town. Downstream from Longford town, the Camlin splits into two distributories: the larger branch joining the Shannon near Cloondara lock.[1]
The Camlin is navigable for part of its course. It is popular with freshwater anglers as it has stocks of perch, bream, brown trout, eel, rudd, and roach, and to a lesser extent, pike.[2]
