This lovely smooth gravel track runs the length of the Southern side of Loch Morlich. Enjoy riding in Glenmore Forest with the occasional view towards the mountains of the Cairngorms, and through the trees to the Loch, where there is a bench you can take a rest on.

Mountain biking

This excellent gravel path is also ideal for novice cyclists. A cycling route around the lake, using these paths, even starts at the visitor center. We rode along this path ourselves with our gravel bikes during a few days of bikepacking around the Cairngorms. After the many technical trails in the area, this was a wonderful path to cycle effortlessly.
