Off the A2, 5 miles N of Limavady. Turn left onto Bishops Road B201 and follow the signs.
A good sized forest providing plenty of forest track, some challenging climbs and occasional sections of single track. A breath-taking ride along a grassy path on the cliff edge leads to nice but steep singletrack off the ridge into the forest. Has hosted Downhill races in the past.

Park at the lake at the top of the hill, or at the old church, or at the Ballycarton end of the forest. A good sized forest providing plenty of forest track. Some challenging climbs and occasional sections of single track. Fantastic views across to Donegal from the top, where a breath-taking ride along a grassy path on the cliff edge can be enjoyed by the brave. The forest has hosted Downhill races in the past. A good launch point for an epic taking in Ballyhanna, Springwell and Cam forests.

Stunning views at the cliff-edge trail, and Loads of scariness! Good sized forest and you can easily put the miles in on the forest tracks. Absolute lung-buster of a climb to the top if you start at the bottom of Ballycarton wood! alternatively park one car at the bottom and the other at the top. The Downhill stuff is well scary, and some of the trails just disappear into the forest where the fallen trees have not been cleared and getting through the mud is hard. An all-day ride!

Beautiful area of natural beauty, with views over Lough Foyle and Donegal. Warning: the downhill stuff is crazy... the terrain and steepness is scary.

From Binevenagh lake the cliff edge path has amazing views, and possible imminent death if you get it wrong, go easy on the first time. Into the trees and it can be very muddy, steep, techy and nearly unrideable in winter, the route isn't clear either.
The DH course is no more, but there are other trails to be had, one in particular is fast with jumps and stuff. There is an xc link to the old dh course to it.
