Cavan to join the Glyde in Co. Louth.[2][3] LegendIn the Táin Bó Cúailnge, Cúchulainn fights Lethan at Ath Carpat ("chariot ford") on the river Níth.[4] This takes its name from the Irish níth, meaning "combat." [5] The modern name Dee derives from the town of Ardee (Baile Átha Fhirdhia, "town of Ferdiad's ford"). CourseThe River Dee springs near Bailieboro in County Cavan and flows in an easterly direction for {{convert|37.75|mi|km}}[6] through County Meath and County Louth before entering the River Glyde at the village of Annagassan. The Dee in turn has three main tributaries: the Killary River which joins south of Drumconrath, Co. Meath, the Gara River which joins west of Ardee, Co. Louth, and the White River which joins north of Dunleer, Co Louth. There is one lake on the Dee called Whitewood Lake which is near Nobber, Co. Meath. Wildlife and leisureThe River Dee is a brown trout fishery.[7] See also
