Farigaig Carpark
 

Farigaig has a very attractive carpark, set amongst large trees with two pleasant picnic sites, an information centre and a network of waymarked walks. Two of the walks have Forestry Commission waymarking - the Farigaig Walk and the River Walk. Other walks have been waymarked by the Highland Council. The 'Foyers Footpath Network' leaflet shows these walks including one that goes over hill ground to Foyers.
