The Colebrooke River is a river in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. It has its source in the Sliabh Beagh mountains and flows in a south-westerly direction through the county until it enters Upper Lough Erne near Inishcollan, Lisnaskea.

A stretch of the River Colebrooke in Maguiresbridge

The river is on the northeast side of County Fermanagh, flowing through Maguiresbridge into Upper Lough Erne, and called in its upper course the Many Burns. The Tempo River runs by Tempo and joins the Colebrooke a mile below Maguiresbridge.[1]

The river has abundant large bream, roach, perch, rudd and pike.
