Scotland's mountain biking capital! Dumfries and Galloway is the home to some of the best mountain biking trips in Scotland and at the Galloway Activity Centre we have loads of options for those wanting to explore the best that Scotland has to offer by bike.
This Mountain Biking trip runs in the morning and afternoon. A power boat trip across Loch Ken starts this exhilarating adventure. On the opposite shore our Mountain Bike Leaders will guide you around a beautiful, non-technical forest track and get you back in time for the next session.
In the Spring and Autumn we run our popular Night Rides. Travel through the heart of Scotland's only Dark Skies Park by night then whizz across Loch Ken in complete darkness back to the comfort of the centre.
Our range of Mountain Bikes are perfect for exploring the forest tracks of the Galloway Forest Park or beyond. We provide a map and can transport the bikes to the opposite side of the Loch for you to explore the area on your own.

mountain biking activity sessions
After you're kitted up with bikes and helmets there'll be no time to lose. We'll load the gear into a power boat and blast across Loch Ken where your instructor will guide you through gentle forest tracks taking in the scenery of the beautiful Galloway Forest Park. During the coronovirus outbreak we are unfortunately not able to take customers across the loch in the boat, so we will meet you at the other side with the bikes.

mountain biking activity sessions
The session will include approximately 1.5 to 2 hours of cycling on rough forest tracks. There's no hair raising descents or tricky obstacles but younger children might find it a struggle. We'd recommend 8 and upwards but as with all our activities it depends on the children

mountain biking activity sessions
We run Mountain Biking as an activity session all year around. Prior booking is essential and we ask for payment at the time of booking.
Bikes are available to hire from us if you wish to explore the trails on your own. There are no signed routes in the Galloway Forest Park, we provide maps but if you are unsure of your ability to navigate then we would recommend doing an instructor led session.
