==Lough Neagh== thumb|left|Lough NeaghLough Neagh is situated in lower end of Ballymaguigan. It is regarded by fishermen of Ballymaguigan and surrounding areas as one of the best places to obtain eels in Ulster, and is also good for obtaining salmon. Due to its location on the shores of Lough Neagh, this was once the primary source of income for many families in Ballymaguigan.
