Coolaney National Mountain Bike Centre
The Noational Mountain Bike Centre in Coolaney, Sligo is is a network of purpose-built singletrack trails and forest roads that are designated for use by mountain bikes on a waymarked circular route.
Choose from blue grade trails which take riders through beautiful forest and heathland, red grade trails with fantastic views over the Atlantic Ocean, Strandhill and Coolaney Village or a hair-raising black grade route designed for expert lever bikers.
Forest road climbs lead you into tight twisty singletrack with lots of fast descents, ups and downs, tight turns and technical rocky bits, guaranteed to leave you smiling! The trails are waymarked in one direction, please follow the arrows.
The route uses multiple sections of forest roads and crosses many walking trails. You should expect to encounter vehicles and other forest users at any time. In general, the trail is exposed on the upper slopes and can be very windy in poor weather.
Please make sure your mountain bike is in good working order and that you have an appropriate level of fitness and skill level to undertake these trails. All riders should be appropriately dressed and wear a helmet at all times. Please ride with consideration for other forest users and control your speed.
The trails are developed in partnership with Sligo County Council and are funded by the Dept of Rural & Community Development and Faillte Ireland and working in association with Coolaney Development Company and North-West MTB Club.
