Loch Arklet

Loch Arklet is a small loch lying between Loch Katrine to the East and Loch Lomond to the West.

To get there you must take the Inversnaid road from Aberfoyle.
A number of miles after Kinlochard you will come to a T junction, turn left for Inversnaid. Loch Arklet is the Loch on your left.
 

There is a picturesque walk along the river from Loch Arklet to Loch Lomond which is steep in places.

After the footbridge there is a path leading to viewpoints between here and the Dam at Loch Arklet. The level of Loch Arklet was raised by the building of a dam, erected to supply Glasgow with water in the early part of the 20th century. As you travel along the shore of Arklet you will pass Corriearklet Farm where Rob Roy was married.

There is fly fishing for brown trout which is only permitted by boat. Petrol engines are not permitted, boat hire with electric engines is available from the Inversnaid end of the loch.

Whilst fishing or walking you may see an osprey on the loch swooping to catch fish. This area is well known for it's wildlife incl. feral goats.
