Owenbrean River
The Owenbrean River ((アイルランド語:Abhainn Bhréan) or "stinking river"〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Ulster Placenames – Celebrating Ulster's Townlands )〕), is a small river in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland which flows down from Cuilcagh Mountain before sinking underground, eventually reaching the Marble Arch Cave system. The river meets up with two other mountain rivers within the caves, the Sruh Croppa and the Aghinrawn; these three rivers then form the River Cladagh.

The Owenbrean drains the north-eastern slopes of Cuilcagh Mountain and the southern and western slopes of Trien Mountain. After meandering northwards for , it turns abruptly west into a confined, blind gorge for before swinging north into the magnificent gothic entrance of Pollasumera, set in high cliffs.〔Jones, Burns, Fogg & Kelly (1997), p. 92〕 In dry weather, the river drains into its bed in the gorge before reaching the cave.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Habitas Online )〕
The Owenbrean flows underground through Pollasumera, until it sumps and appears again in nearby Pollnagollum of the Boats. The river eventually enters the Marble Arch system via Skreen Hill 3—a long stretch of cave only accessible by divers—Skreen Hill 2 and Skreen Hill 1, which is the furthest section of the show cave.〔Jones, Burns, Fogg & Kelly (1997), pp. 79–84〕 During the guided tour of the Marble Arch Caves, visitors are led on a subterranean pathway alongside the Owenbrean River, as well as travelling upon it for a short while on an underground boat journey. The Owenbrean meets the combined Sruh Croppa and Aghinrawn at The Junction, which is halfway along the boat tour.〔
