ドーン湖のおすすめランニングルート

下の道は、冬の倒木/被害のため、一時的に閉鎖されていると標識が出ています。しかし、道はまだ通行可能で、ルートは塞がれていないので、自己責任で通り抜けることができます。

ボグトン湖は、穏やかな小さな湖です。牧草地や丘陵のなだらかな風景の中にあり、多くの鳥や両生類の生息地となっています。この湖は、自然観察、散歩、観光の中心地から離れた静かな休息の場として人気があります。

Wellies are strongly recommended!

You can’t continue on this road and take the forrest track on to Stration.

Work began in September 1916 and an airfield, slipways, piers, jetties, seaplane hangars, tramways and other associated buildings erected. The remains of these can still be found on the Loch shore today. The loch was dammed in the 1930s, raising the water some 27 feet (8.2 m) to provide seasonal storage for the Galloway hydro-electric power scheme. As a reservoir, Loch Doon has an effective capacity of over 82 million cubic metres. When rainfall is plentiful, water is diverted to the loch from the Water of Deugh via a tunnel system. When water is required for power generation, water is released at Drumjohn to feed Kendoon power reservoir, the first in a series of generating stations and reservoirs on the Water of Ken. During construction work, the ruins of the castle were moved from an island in the Loch to the shore to avoid the rising water. Air crashes Edit Two aircraft are known to have crashed in or near the Loch in the Second World War.

Lovely views of an arched bridge crossing over the River Doon.

Enjoy the still and refreshing waters of Bogton Loch situated near the town of Dalmellington. The path around the loch is grassy and undulating and provides some wonderful views across the surrounding rolling countryside.

Fantastic little cafe perched on the edge of the mighty Loch Doon, there's food, drinks, and breathtaking views.
