Lough Patrick is a small lough of approximately 1½ acres in Owenreagh, Sixtowns near Draperstown in the parish of Ballinascreen.  This lough is said to have gushed forth when St Patrick pulled a rush to allow his thirsty followers to drink during a prayer station.  It can be clearly viewed from the top of Slieve Gallion, glistening in the sun like a jewel in the bog. Locals say that it is heralded that nothing will ever drown in the lough.
