The main feeder river to the loch is the River Orchy, which is born in the spectacular landscape around Loch Tulla and Inveroran. The West Highland Way crosses the Orchy at Bridge of Orchy and travels northwards past Inveroran Hotel, a welcome stopping place for walkers, before continuing along the west side of Loch Tulla and on to Glencoe and Kingshouse. The River Orchy reaches the Parish of Glenorchy and Innishail at the little village of Bridge of Orchy, with its school, Post Office, railway station, Scottish Ski Club building, and Bridge of Orchy Hotel.

The B8074, which follows the river down Glen Orchy, is a delightful single track road with picnic areas, forest walks, waterfalls and immensely impressive river-washed stone formations. The Orchy is a well-known salmon fishing river.
