Loch More is a natural fresh water loch that is fed by the River Thurso. The loch is damned at the north end which increased the overall water volume held. This regulates the water levels of the bottom of the River Thurso enabling fish to move up the river from the sea even during times of reduced rainfall. The dam has a fish ladder allowing salmon to travel into the loch and move further up the river to spawn.

This is the junction of two trails: Options to either go right at bench for direct (and probably better surface) to Loch Dhu or go left as I did and take the circular route to Dalnawillian Lodge. Warning the circular route is heavily pot-holed now, almost impossible to avoid along with the aggregate that's been dislodged by landys using the track. It isn't great if you've got panniers.
