This local nature reserve managed by the Scottish Wildlife Trust is an important habitat for birdlife. In the summer it's home to breeding songbirds and during the winter it's an important stop off for wintering birds including Greylag Geese. There are two wildlife hides around the loch.
You can ride all around the loch on the road loop.

Often difficult to see the loch from the road due to the trees; so take the opportunity when available.
