The impressive, tumbling Pattack Falls and its rocky gorge are particularly spectacular when the River Pattack is in spate after heavy rainfall. There is lovely walking in the surrounding woodlands and heather moorland. A hike up to Black Craig's summit above Black Wood and on to the Pictish Dun da Lamh fort rewards with splendid views of the surrounding landscape.

We did a small hike around the Pattack Falls. It was only 3-4 miles so a nice walk one can make for example after visiting Dalwhinne.

Very easy access along a good gravel path from the car park. Easy to come and see. The paths continue up the hill to further highlights, but no further falls past the high viewpoint.
