The River Sig is a short river on Dartmoor in the county of Devon, England. It is a tributary to the River Lemon.

Course

The Sig forming out of marshy ground near Bagtor Down.

The river starts from marshland just to the south of Saddle Tor and the B3387 road on moorland, near Bag Tor Mire.[1][2]

It then flows south east, leaving the moor into forest before the Langworthy Brook joins from the right bank. It passes to the west of the village of Sigford before flowing into the Lemon.
