Altnahinch Dam is a large dam located near Loughguile, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It is situated on the edge of Slieveanorra Forest in the southern uplands of Glenbush and was constructed in 1967 using stone quarried from the newly founded Corkey Quarry almost 3 miles away. The reservoir is fed from a number of tributaries in the greater Glenbush area, Altnahinch Burn and more famously the River Bush itself which flows from the top of Glenbush, through the reservoir and eventually into the sea at Portballintrae. A little known fact is that there are 15 road Bridge crossings over the River Bush from it birthplace in Glenbush above the Altnahinch Reservoir and the point where it meets the sea in Bushmills.
