Activities on the Island or less than one hour's travel
Across to the east you find the beautiful centre of the Trossachs with a variety of lochs, each with its own unique attractions. In the north east you come to Balquhidder, the home of Rob Roy MacGregor and finally to the north, the lands of the Campbells, MacNabs, and Stewarts by Lochs Earn, Dochart and Tay. Loch Lomond stretches from its gentle southern end at Balloch to Ardlui, some twenty-one miles to the northwest. Loch Lomond, made famous by the song "the Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond " is one of the main attractions of the national park although you must leave time to explore the rest of the park. Loch Lomond is the largest inland expanse of water in Britain for boating. It has the advantage of being large and the safety of being enclosed, but without the disadvantages of tides, large swells and navigational problems. It provides areas sheltered enough for ski-ing but open enough for sailing. The southern end of the Loch has many islands to explore and plenty of sheltered anchorages. The north end of the Loch, in contrast, provides long stretches of deep, open water.
Mountain bikes, Walking, Canoes and Water skiing The Loch is suitable for any vessel including canoes, kayaks, dinghies, speed-boats, cruisers and yachts. A public launching facility and trailer park is available for all sizes of boats at the Duncan Mills Memorial Slipway, Balloch (01389 757295). There is also a picnic site and public launching for smaller boats at Milarrochy Bay, East Loch Lomond (01360 870412).
An evening out The restaurant caters to all needs, from individuals having a bar meal to weddings for eighty people. As well as enjoying the peace and quiet guests on holiday occupy themselves by sailing, fishing, water ski-ing, boating and exploring the Island; or else use the ferry service to travel to the mainland and take advantage of the many attractions in the Loch Lomond area. Private car parking is available for our self catering guests at the mainland jetty and the nearby Lomond Shores offers a free boat slippage and trailer storage facility.
Boating, Mooring and Fishing on Loch Lomond Loch Lomond is one of Scotland’s best Lochs for salmon, sea trout and coarse fishing (especially pike). Salmon and pike of thirty pounds and sea trout of ten pounds are caught most years. With the introduction in recent years of the live bait “ruffe” the balance has changed with increasing numbers of pike and decreasing numbers of salmon and trout. The season for salmon and sea trout is 11th Feb to 31st Oct, fishing by fly or trolling with large bait for salmon and smaller bait for sea trout. The record salmon is 44lbs 8oz. The record sea trout is 22lbs 8oz.
