Islandeady Lough measures about 2 km (1.2 mi) long and 1 km (0.6 mi) wide. It is located about 10 km (6 mi) west of Castlebar.[2]
Islandeady Lough drains to neighbouring Castlebar Lough via the Castlebar River. The river in turn flows through Lough Lannagh before passing through Castlebar.[2] Islandeady Lough is stocked annually with brown trout.[4]
