Sion Mills' plentiful water resource-the River Mourne- which once sustained the village's flax industry now provides the centre piece for an idyllic riverside haven, incorporating excellent angling facilities and the Mourneside Walk. This scenic riverside walk features the popular 'Bearney'footbridge known locally as the 'Swinging Bridge', picnic sites as well as an attractive weir across the river which the Salmon cross on their migration upstream to the Strule, Derg, Owenkillew, and Glenelly rivers.
