5/5)About Uath Lochans Trail
This is a walk around four small lochans through trees, heather moorland and bogland.
Starting from the car park, follow the white markers and walk clockwise around the lochans. Some sections are crossed by wooden boardwalks laid down to prevent damaging the vegetation of this wetland habitat.
A small bird hide overlooks the largest lochan where goldeneye ducks and greylag geese can be seen during the spring, whilst the summer months see a myriad of dragonflies and damselflies.
How to get there:
Uath Lochans Trail can be started from Uath Lochans Car Park in Inshriach Forest. Kincraig is the nearest town or village.
From Kincraig, take the road opposite the memorial stone in the middle of the village, which leads down to the wooden bridge over the River Spey.
Carry on this road for about one mile to reach a T-junction. Turn right, and after half a mile, there is a minor road on the left beside Insh House. Take this road for one and a half.miles to the Forest Enterprise sign on the right, just before a forest road. Take this road to reach the car park.
