Strone Hill car park and trail are closed for improvement works. Alternative similar facilities can be found at Fearnoch.
Thank you for avoiding the area while the work is being carried out.
Stop off at this natural resting place, where for centuries cattle drovers and other travellers along Glen Orchy have paused for a moment. The high riverside trail passes through oak, birch and rowan woodland that provides brilliant colour in spring and autumn and welcome shade for summer picnics.
The riverbank route has viewpoints over the riverside waterfalls, which are particularly dramatic when the river is in spate.
This winding trail follows the River Lochy down through some beautiful native oak woodland.
Firm but uneven gravel path throughout. Includes steep slopes and one wide bridge.
Allow 1 hour
The nearest public toilets and other facilities are in Dalmally and Tyndrum.
