Loch Ken - Mossdale

Loch Ken is 9-mile long freshwater loch in southern Scotland and lies in the Glenkens, where it is fed from the north by the Water of Ken and from the west by the Dee. Villages around Loch Ken include Glenlochar at the south, Laurieston and Mossdale on the west side of the loch, and Crossmichael and Parton on the east. The village of New Galloway lies one mile to its north.  Loch Ken is used recreationally for water skiing, fishing, and sailing. A railway viaduct, once part of the Portpatrick Railway, crosses the loch at Boat o' Rhone, and now disused.
