Glen Orchy and Glen Lochy
 

The forests of Glen Orchy and Glen Lochy provide great opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts and amateur naturalists alike. There are nature trails through ancient oakwoods and cycle routes into remote country. There are two remnants of the old Caledonian Pine Forest which are now protected as Caledonian Forest Reserves. The West Highland Way passes through a corner of the forest and there are riverside picnic sites for warm summer days.

The cycle route through Glen Orchy, between Bridge of Orchy and Eas Urchaidh is currently closed for major upgrade work until further notice.
