Mill Lough is an inter-drumlin lake (a satellite body of Upper Lough Erne) with important wetland flora and fauna and one of only of three water bodies in NI with eight species of pondweed.
The lough holds a species-rich assemblage of aquatic plants, aquatic invertebrate fauna (typical of a lowland eutrophic, but comparatively unpolluted, water body), ten species of dragonfly and significant numbers of waterfowl in winter. It also displays a well-developed transition from open water, through emergent swamp and fen, to carr woodland or fen meadow.
