Kirkhill Mountain Bike Trails have a short blue graded MTB fun park and 11 km's of family friendly waymarked singletrack and fireroad, making it family friendly and offer something for intermediate riders too.
MTB Fun Park: Blue graded trail 1.6km (1 mile) long with jumps, berms and switchbacks.
Kirkhill (Tappie Tower) Loop: 11km (7 mile) is a family friendly waymarked trail starting from the MTB fun park and climbs up the fire-road to Tappie Tower at the summit of Tyrebagger Hill. Then is descends gently for the remaining 7km back to the car park, with a choice of 3 singletrack sections leading from the tower back on to the Kirkhill Loop.
South Spur: 0.8km (0.5 mile) south spur starts from the MTB Fun Park and follows the white markings of the Kirkhill Loop to a steep, rough, rocky and rooty track for more experienced riders.
North Spur: The North Spur is a multi-user track and shared by horses, walkers and cyclists leads slightly uphill from the East Woodlands car park to the Kirkhill Loop. It's also waymarked with white markers.
