There is so much to see and do in the forests around Loch Awe.
Take time to explore and you might see some of the larger resident
wildlife Red Squirrels, Deer, Eagles, Osprey, and Capercaillie. There are wonderful open
glades and woodland where you might find many unusual and fascinating plants and the
smaller animals and insects. Impressive views open up round every corner.
A visit to the Barnaline Information Centre will tell you more
about the life of the forest.
To help you explore the forests Forest Enterprise have
waymarked walks and cycle trails in Inverinan and Inverliever forests or you can just
enjoy the views from one of our picnic sites around the loch.
There are 5 walks between Inverinan and Ford. For an easy stroll
try the wonderful Dalavich Oakwood use the dedicated leaflet and follow the trail
to discover the history and future of this ancient woodland. Stretch your legs a bit more
on the Timber Walk and see some of the biggest trees around Loch Awe. For the
energetic there is the Loch Avich Walk.
If you want to use two wheels to get round the forest an 8 mile
trailtakes in the Two Lochs.
