Pucks Glen Forest Trails

Waymarked trails

Puck's Glen Gorge Trail (closed)

A magical trail that winds along a Victorian walkway up the dramatic rocky gorge that is said to be home to mischievous spirits. Pass several waterfalls beneath the towering Douglas firs. During your visit, keep a sharp eye out and you might just spot the mystical Ghillie Dhu!

Deservedly the most popular walk on the Cowal peninsula and particularly spectacular after rain. The steep, narrow gorge with its arched wooden bridges and rocky steps is thrilling and full of atmosphere. As you climb past tumbling waterfalls and gushing waters you'll sense the huge trees towering overhead and see sumptuous ferns and fungi thriving on the forest floor. This is a place of fantasy and fun, whatever your age.

If it's been raining, wear waterproofs and be prepared for slippery, wet conditions.

Puck's Glen Gorge Trail remains closed due to storm damage and a number of fallen and unsafe trees.

For your own safety, please do not attempt to access closed trails.
