About Black parks
Please note this trail is currently closed to allow clearance of windblown trees.
The trail takes you into Strathyre Forest on a firm path, which is quite narrow in places. Passing through young native woodlands and alongside large broadleaves and stands of mature conifer, the trail gives you a taste of the forest environment.
Take advantage of the local picnic areas that are available on route to relax and enjoy the woodland setting.
How to get there:
Black parks can be started from Strathyre Car Park in Strathyre Forest which is part of Queen Elizabeth Forest Park. Strathyre is the nearest town or village.
From Callander follow the A84 along the east side of Loch Lubnaig to the village of Strathyre.
The car park is signposted at the southern end of the village.
