The viewpoint path is a short loop walk with a firm surface. The path takes you through a regenerating native woodland to a viewpoint where you can enjoy superb views of Loch Achray, Achray Forest, Ben A'an, Ben Venue and the Trossachs.
This forest walk takes you through an area of regenerating native woodland to a timber bridge across the Achray Water. Once across the bridge the path takes you along the riverside, then on a circular route through Achray Forest before returning to the car park once again via the Achray Water bridge. The path surface is varied though generally firm but steep in places and includes forest road and track, tarred road and a short section on wooden boardwalk.
The path surface is generally firm though there are sections which are uneven and wet underfoot. From the car park, via a charming riverside walk and the Achray Water bridge, this path links with the Ben Venue hill path. If you're planning to walk this route please make sure that you have strong footwear, waterproofs and extra warm clothing with you.
Important Message from the Forestry Commission Scotland:
Many of the Forestry Commission Scotland's trails and forest roads are suitable for walkers, cyclists and horse riders. Please show consideration and courtesy to everyone you meet. Some trails and paths are less suited to cyclists and horse riders because of the gradients and surfaces. Please behave responsibily in helping us to maintain these routes.
Please remember also that forests are working landscapes and that forestry vehicles also use these roads.
