While short, it is closer to 20 miles long than six - accounts vary as to the origins of the name. The most widely accepted story is that Norman soldiers marching from Carrickfergus Castle calculated that they had marched six miles when they forded the river at Ballyclare. A weir exists at Ballyclare where water was diverted to the Paper Mill . The Six Mile Water Park was constructed around the river in Ballyclare, in order that the river's frequent floods would not affect houses in the area. The Six Mile Water is famous for its Trout Fishing . "Six Mile Water" is also the name of a song on the Suicide Pact - You First album by Northern Irish band Therapy?
