On nearby Loch Ken facilities include the excellent Galloway Sailing and Outdoor Activity Centre, Loch Ken Water-ski School with a designated water-ski zone on the eastern shore near Parton and a Marina at Crossmichael at the southern end.

Loch Ken benefits from prevailing South-Westerly winds which provide Gulf Stream warmth and steady, moderate strength – perfect for learning your sailing skills!

On the rare days of still air, Loch Ken enjoys a reliable sea-breeze which usually arrives just after lunch.
