Gortin Glen Forest Park

Gortin Glen Forest Park sits six miles north of Omagh on the western edge of the Sperrin Mountains in County Tyrone. The mountain bike network offers a blue loop (approx. 7.1km) and a red loop (approx. 4.6km) combining forest singletrack with open hillside riding — over 14km of trail in total. The park is owned by Forest Service NI and managed by Fermanagh and Omagh District Council, and is part of the MountainBikeNI network.
