Mostly narrow path, well drained but short sections that can get muddy in wet weather. (Passable on a gravel bike, with one or two short sections walked).

Clear but good grief, riding it in the direction towards Choran Lochan is impossible for the average rider

      Enjoyable route with nice views. Nothing too technical, or boggy.
      Nice lunch spot at the Corran Lochan, or a bench just as you get to the end of the Dukes Path, overlooking Lochgoilhead

      Best done south to north, forming a loop from ardgartan along the forestry tracks on the shore of Loch Long, the Dukes Path to lochgoilhead, then up the forestry tracks towards the Rest and be Thankfull. Then its a fast descent on forest tracks to Ardgartan.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
