Spittal of Glenmuick consists of just a few buildings and a tiny forest. There is a ranger station and some restrooms. If you are lucky, you might spot some deer in the meadows.

The small car park (of which there is now a charge) is the staring point for may Munros in the area as well as smaller peaks and walks around the loch. Here there is a small visitor centre with toilets. The walk to the loch takes about 10 - 15 minutes and can be made in to a circuit. Those who decide to walk all the way around the loch should allow for 2-3 hours.

The visitor centre is quite informative about the local flora and fauna. Car parking spaces have increased greatly with the opening of the parking area nearer the visitor centre. In May 2024, the parking fee was £5 per day payable using various methods at a machine including contactless.
