Description
The walk begins a mile out of Fort Augustus at a Forestry Commission Scotland car park and picnic site. It is well-waymarked and the paths are clear. The bank of the river has been cleared to allow salmon fishing - the Oich is a well-known salmon river. As well as salmon in the river, roe deer, red squirrel and buzzards may be seen in the forest. This is a good family walk.
