This is a great walking route that the entire family can enjoy on the weekend.
Route Description for Uath Lochans Circular Walk
For those families looking to get outdoors and hit the trails for a few hours in a scenic setting, the Uath Lochans Circular Walk is the perfect route. In addition to exploring a peaceful stretch of woodland terrain, you will also be able to take in some wonderful views across several small lochs, making for an incredible day of reconnecting with nature.
Setting out from the trailhead, you will enter into the dense cover of the forest and head to the southwest, following the path as it skirts around the edge of a small loch. After continuing through the atmospheric forest and traversing the slope of a small hill, you will arrive at the largest body of water on the walk, Uath Lochan.
Keeping left along the trail, you will work around the southern shoreline of the lake and enjoy some pleasant views, before continuing to the east to eventually meet up with Balnespick Road. Heading left here, you will follow the road for a short distance before breaking off to the west, where you will pass by the remaining lochs on the way into the trailhead where you began.
