The Ballisodare River (Irish: Abhainn Bhaile Easa Dara; also spelled Ballysadare) is a river in Ireland, flowing through County Sligo.[1]

Course

The Ballisodare River derives from three other Sligo rivers: the Unshin River, the Owenmore River and the Owenbeg River. It flows through Ballysadare, passing under the N4 and N59 roads.

Wildlife
