This lake, surrounded by hills and munros, is like something out of a postcard - extremely picturesque! I was lucky enough to be wild camping here and was treated to the THE MOST AWESOME sunrise. It is superbly beautiful. In the morning or late evening it is also super quiet and serene. Looking to get away from it all? Come here (you won't get away from swarms of flies in the morning, though)!

Please consult the large notice board at the trailhead. This is a commercial forest and currently, timber harvesting is taking place along the southern flank of the Loch (hence tha barriers encountered by abp1). There are diversions in place to avoid the southern flank, rerouting via the north shore. This is detailed on the notice board. Also, please be aware that this is not an official MTB route, and taking a bike along it is not a good idea since the trail will have walkers of all abilities along its length, most of whom will not be expecting MTBs at all.

We tried to do this tour on June 21, 2023, but had to cancel. After approx. 13 km you come out of the forest into a wide valley. The landscape is very beautiful, but the path is destroyed by a large number of watercourses and you have to dismount every few meters. After that, the path is obstructed by massive willow barriers with barbed wire. The route would have to be laid out differently, otherwise this tour is not recommended.
