I was impressed by the beauty of this small lake, nestled behind the hills just north of Kingussie. The gravel path north of the lake is smooth and easy to ride on a gravel bike. During the Grinduro event in 2025, there was a speed-measuring track here, but I stopped regularly to enjoy the beautiful view.

A beautiful trail running along the north side of the lake, with beautiful views.

The Loch is flanked by Creag Bheag to the south and Creag Mhor to the north.
