We did not manage to find some of the stunning walks others managed to. But we did finally see red squirrels in their natural habitat (albeit they were coaxed there by unlimited nuts provided by nut boxes)! Still a good day’s walking to be had and some of the sculptures really not bad at all. Make sure to stop at the visitor center for a super detailed map of all the trails. There are really nice bathrooms and helpful staff to help you plan your visit. Had a great day exploring this park. Really really liked this park, although I highly advise you take a picture of the route on the information board as we nearly got lost. There are so many twists and turns but the colour coded posts really helped us out. We went the green route round the lochan and it was really peaceful and seen a bunch of blue dragonfly on our way round, clegs were a bit of annoying but they are everywhere at the moment. Highly recommend the green route if you're looking for a walk with water and lasts around an hour, we were around 50 mins. Just a nice addition there is a bench to have lunch with a nice view over the Lochan. Really lovely part of the world. Peaceful and beautiful if the weather treats you well. We stayed for the night at one of the forestry registered stop over car parks. Well maintained and quiet. An excellent place to explore, easy to follow waymarked trails, but plenty of other trails to find off the track. In the snow this place is really quite amazing. Car Park payment machine wasn't working (took money, no ticket) apparently doesn't work very well in the cold... We done the Duke's walk (blue trail) it was an easy enough walk. The little bit at the start got the heart pumping but we really enjoyed it. It's a great walk for the dog both on and off lead. You did need to cross the road twice on this trail, but the road was so quiet so not an issue. Unfortunately today we didnt see any of the red squirrels but that was a first, and to be honest we were too busy chatting to make a conservative effort to find them and we probably scared them away. This is a fantastic place to visit with or without children. There is always plenty to see. The lady in the shop was very helpful. It is also much easier to pay for parking in the shop using your bank card rather than having cash on you (I never seem to have enough cash) parking is currently £3 all day. Lovely walk, I did the black and red route brilliant views of Loch Lomond, some lovely sitting spots. Nice and quiet in the morning, parking gets busy late morning and early afternoon. Be aware of people letting dogs free in the car park. Fantastic visit here this week, the red squirrels appeared in number and my camera had to work fast to capture images!! Will definitely be back next time we're in the area. Lovely staff in the visitor centre too.
