Lock system on the Caledonian Canal

The southern section of the Great Glen Way is a simple ride on gravel and a small amount of pavement, plus a section of single trail.

The Great Glen Way is not accessible between North Laggan and Aberchalder (June 8, 2024). A large area west of the Caledonian Canal is strictly closed and sealed off by heavy gates. A severe winter storm has made extensive forestry work necessary. A diversion via Invergarry is well signposted. The additional effort is a good 2.5 miles and about 300 meters in altitude.

Unpaved trail but passable and fairly passable with suitable tires: Gravel at least. The views of the loch and the mountains are worth the effort on the few sections where the elevation gain is more difficult.

It is open from Wednesday to Sunday, from 12:00 to 23:00,

The Eagle Barge Inn is a unique and cozy cafe and restaurant floating on the Caledonian Canal at Laggan Locks. It is a converted Dutch barge built in 1926 and used as a troop transporter in World War II. The café and restaurant has a warm fireplace and comfortable leather sofas in the bar, and a separate dining area.

Laggan Locks are a series of water lock gates on the Caledonian Canal between Loch Oich and Loch Lochy. Boats coming from the north-east side arrive at a water level of 35 meters above sea level (the highest stretch of the Caledonian Canal). They are lowered through the locks to the lower water level at Loch Lochy. It's a fascinating place with a bit of everything: scenery, boats using the locks, the site of a historic battle and a floating cafe!

Such a lovely spot. Don't miss the bench behind the lighthouse - makes for a lovely little break
