About trip
Loch Lubnaig lies in the midst of the Strathyre Forest. The loch is 3.5miles long, averages about 1/4 mile wide and the deepest part is approximately 100ft .
The loch is fed mainly by the river Balvaig which flows into the north end of the loch in a highly sedimented area which supports a large variety of wildlife. Many burns also flow into Loch Lubnaig, the largest being the Stank burn on the west side and the burn from GlenAmple at Ardchullerie on the east side. The loch empties at the souht end into the 'Garbh Uisge' - 'the rough water' - which flows via the Leny Pass and the Leny Falls to join the river Teith at Callander.
