Description
Quite a long walk or cycle in. Lovely secluded loch of a decent size for long or short swims. Gradual entry but then quite deep.
Getting There
From Gatehouse of Fleet follow signs for the Cairnsmore of Fleet National Nature Reserve or Big Water of Fleet Viaduct. Just after the visitor centre for the Nature Reserve under the viaduct there is parking and picnic tables to your left. From there walk straight ahead down the path and turn right onto Old railway line and follow signs for Mossdale. About an hour's walk. Alternatively you can park at Mossdale and walk along the old railway track from that end. Cycling might be better.
Accessibility
Accessed just before the wee bridge shown in picture. Have to cross some tussocky grass, which may be boggy in other seasons. A few stones underfoot getting in.
