Loch Bad an Sgalaig is a small, irregular shaped, freshwater loch and reservoir lying 5 mi (8.0 km) south of the small village of Poolewe, in Wester Ross, Scotland.
The north west end of the loch, where it outflows to the Eas na Laimh stream, was dammed in 1949 to power the Kerry Falls hydroelectric power station.
The loch was surveyed on 30 July 1902 by T.N. Johnston and John Hewitt and later charted as part of the Sir John Murray's Bathymetrical Survey of Fresh-Water Lochs of Scotland 1897-1909.

A good spot to park and take a short walk to the falls. Views of the loch are good.

A beautiful loch at the end of the alternative descent from Flowerdale Forest by the side of the Abhainn a'Garbh Choire back to the car park by the A832. The is a lovely wooded area, especially so in autumn.
