East Loch Lomond Woodland

Balmaha is a gateway to the Highlands. Pause here before climbing up through the Balmaha Pass heading towards Cashel, Sallochy, Rowardennan and Ben Lomond.

Conic Hill towers behind the car park. There are superb viewpoints for walkers on the West Highland Way - the long distance footpath from Milngavie to Fort William. You can also relax on the peaceful wooded shores of east Loch Lomond.

The woodland walks also afford fine views - but without such physical effort - over the islands of Loch Lomond. These islands mark the line of the Highland Boundary Fault.

Beyond the pass lies the Loch Lomond oak woods. Managed for the last 300 to 400 years for charcoal, tannin and timber, the wood is now a ‘site of special scientific interest’ and home to a wide variety of animal and plant life.
