Jubilee Picnic Site

The drive up Loch Eck (A815), is part of the Argyll Forest Park and the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, and sticks close to the water's edge, on the eastern edge of the loch.

Birch, rowan and other hardwoods lightly fringe the road and shore. Across the loch, hills rise abruptly in craggy slopes, forested in their lower part, and with three big corries biting deep into the higher tops above.

The Jubilee and Dornoch Bay picnic sites are both worth a stop off on route. On a fine day, the view looking northwards up Loch Eck is not to be missed. Please remember that these are car park/ picnic sites and camping is not permitted here. Anyone camping from a vehicle WILL be asked to move on.

The west shore of Loch Eck offers a very fine long excursion on foot or by cycle from Benmore to Glenbranter, through varied woodland and open farm ground.

Anyone wishing to launch a boat or other motorised watercraft onto loch Eck at Jubilee Point should contact Jessie Crowe at the Glenbranter Forest office on 01369 860703  for permission at least ONE MONTH in advance - and be able to provide details of insurance for their craft. 

Launching of portable NON MOTORISED  craft does not need permission.
