Lough Anure (Irish: Loch an Iúir, meaning 'lake of the yew')[3] is a freshwater lake in the northwest of County Donegal, Ireland.
Lough Anure is about 8 kilometres (5 mi) northeast of Dungloe. It is the largest lake in the Rosses region of the county. The lake drains to the north via the River Crolly (also known as the Gweedore River).[2]
