Loch Kinord is a small and shallow freshwater loch within the Muir of Dinnet national nature reserve. The shallow depth means that light penetrates to the loch floor and it's therefore rich in plant species. Water lilies, reeds, sedges and bullrushes fringe the loch which creates good habitat for fish and water birds.
The path that skirts the lochs perimeter is well maintained and provides a good obvious and easily navigable but short bike loop. If you want to go further there are endless possibilities to extend your ride by heading north up into the Cairngorms or joining the Deeside Way to the south.
