Carrigadrohid Lake is a lake on the River Lee in County Cork in the south of Ireland.[1] Standing upstream (west) of Carrigadrohid village, it is a reservoir created for the Carrigadrohid hydroelectric power station,[2] which was built in the 1950s.

The lake is a fishery for bream, rudd, roach, northern pike and perch.[3]
