ディー湖のおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

乾燥している場合は非常に浅くなり、泳ぎには値しませんが、湖の眺めは良いです。

The landscape is stunningly beautiful, but the paths are not as easy to walk as advertised. The barely discernible path up leads almost entirely through muddy, boggy terrain. We often sank ankle-deep, at times knee-deep. From Loch Enech onwards, there is no discernible path; the ground is drier, but eroded and full of holes. The way down is the official route, and considerably better. They've tried to make everything more walkable with fleece and gravel, but the water has already washed away much of it. Unfortunately, it's hard to enjoy the scenery while walking, as you're so busy trying not to slip and sink with every step. In the end, we were glad to be back down with our bones intact. The path can only be recommended with reservations.

Wide grassy ridge between Benyellary and Merrick summits. Very windy when I was on it, with beautiful views down to valley/glen

The bench is no longer there. There was a swallows nest in the room to left of door so try not to disturb it. Beautiful views from it and neighbouring burn

when the water level is fine it's lovely place for a dip and cooling off, sadly it is too smal for a swim. lower down the path there may be a better spot but I like slightly hidden spots so not everyone had to see me

2024 update: There's no windows or doors, but there's a roof that looks pretty solid. Use at your own risk, of course 🙏

Great little hike with little foot traffic and a free carpark. Lovely views when the clouds lift and babbling brooks all over.

Please consult the large notice board at the trailhead. This is a commercial forest and currently, timber harvesting is taking place along the southern flank of the Loch (hence tha barriers encountered by abp1). There are diversions in place to avoid the southern flank, rerouting via the north shore. This is detailed on the notice board. Also, please be aware that this is not an official MTB route, and taking a bike along it is not a good idea since the trail will have walkers of all abilities along its length, most of whom will not be expecting MTBs at all.
