The Lagan is the name of a river in Northern Ireland. It rises on the Slieve Croob mountain in County Down, meanders through County Antrim, then flows through Belfast and into the Atlantic Ocean at Belfast Lough.
With a length of 86km, the Lagan River is currently undergoing a major transformation. Initially over-polluted, its shores served only as industrial quarters for the city of Belfast. Sad, dreary, idle neighborhoods, where the people of Belfast were reluctant to enter.
However, a vast project launched in 1987 has rehabilitated the river and revitalized the old, abandoned districts. A major campaign has been launched to redevelop the riverbanks and make the area as fashionable as possible!
The river is currently in the midst of a major redevelopment project: it is currently being cleaned up, and over the next few years will undergo a vast salmon restocking project. For the time being, therefore, we advise against fishing: let nature take its course!
