Beautiful, peaceful Loch. We parked at Kinlochard Village Hall car park and put our canoe in at the grassed area just in front of it (through a gate). For a relatively small Loch, it has plenty of places to explore along the South / East shoreline, with inlets and islands that are not obvious to see from along the incoming road on the opposite side. We stopped off on Duke Murdoch's Castle / Island (about 2/3 along towards the East of the Loch). There's a number of small, pretty islets and inlets to paddle around here too. Well worth the trip and we'll be sure to...

Amazing place to be, feel ruined with new by laws. Understand why the laws are there but ruins the experience for genuine campers. Asked to move ourselves off a piece of open land, even though this piece of land didn't have a sign stating it was a restricted camp site like the others. Up loch lommond and Trossachs every year for past 11years, don't think we will be back up there camping again. Which is a shame as tourist and campers bring consumption at local business who make money from us. Place is amazing for a day break but now worst...

Place was beautiful, had an incredible experience, just taking in the scenery. Went a walk for about 2 hours so we only partially covered the outskirts of the lake. It was very peaceful that provided many breathtaking views. Wildlife is thriving and the place was very clean, there is also a free car park which provided a guide board and also leaflets for tourists. The path also looks good if your thinking of cycling as many others passed by us with...

Once you take a right upon exiting the car park and walk past the boat club you are on the trail. There are lots of paths that meander around the Queen Elizabeth forest area but the main route is pretty clear. The loop takes you along the loch, up and then back along a higher path. You get some great views. You can cycle the route or forget the walk and just laze about in a canoe/go fishing. (Camping is not permitted from March until September.)
