Reasons to Visit Loch Lomond and The Trossachs
Loch Lomond
Located near the West Coast of Scotland in the Argyll and Bute region, Loch Lomond has a surface area of 77.1 square miles, making it the largest lake in Great Britain. The loch is perfect for water activities like kayaking, canoeing, sailing, water skiing and wakeboarding. You can go waterskiing in the morning and fly fishing for salmon in the afternoon. You can also rent a boat and visit the 30 islands on the loch. If you prefer to keep your feet dry then walking trails around the loch are fantastic in their own right.
The Trossachs
The Trossachs are the forests, glens, mountains, and hills surrounding Loch Lomond. The fault line that divides the Highlands and Lowlands runs through the National Park, and there is a lot to see when exploring it. From gentle climbs around the loch to long-distance adventures deep into the woods and mountaineering opportunities, there is much to explore. There are also relaxing activities like golf and cycling for you and your group to enjoy.
Where to Stay in Loch Lomond and The Trossachs
Where you stay in Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park very much depends on the activities you and your family or friends are interested in. If you are hardcore climbers, Ben Lomond and Ben Ime are over 3,000 feet high and only a few miles from the loch. But if you and your family are there to enjoy the loch itself and its activities, then being right on the water's edge in a place like Luss is your best choice.
