While Lough Corrib is reputed to have 365 islands, a recent figure from the creator of the charts of the lake is 1,327.
These islands include Inchagoil Island, midway between Cong and Oughterard.
It is one of the largest of the wooded islands along Lough Corrib.
The island has views of the Maumturk range, Joyce Country and the mountains of Connemara.
There are some beaches and woods with walks around the island.
There is evidence of an early monastic settlement, and two churches - Saint Patrick's and the 12th century church known as the "saints" church.
St. Brendan of Clonfert is also said to have spent some time on an island in this lake after returning from his travels in Britain.
There are several paths around the island, an old cemetery and remains of four or five cottages which housed the few inhabitants.

Another lake island is Caislean-na-Circe, between Maam and Doon.
This section of Lough Corrib is free from islands except for the rock on which the ancient Hen's Castle of the O'Connor's and the O'Flaherty's stands.
The castle was home of the pirate Queen Gráinne O'Malley, who lived in the time of Queen Elizabeth I of England.
In 1225, the Lord Justice caused Odo O'Flatherty to give up Kirk Castle to Odo O'Connor, King of Connaught; for assurance of his fidelity.
Cruises on the lough depart from Cong, Ashford Castle, Galway City, and Oughterard.
