Embark on a moderate touring bicycle adventure around Loch Earn, a 15.3-mile (24.6 km) loop from Lochearnhead. This route, typically taking about 1 hour and 47 minutes, offers diverse scenery within Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park. You will cycle through wooded slopes and open hillsides, with the dramatic Ben Vorlich mountain often in view, and enjoy picturesque vistas of the freshwater loch. The trail features a total elevation gain of 641 feet (195 metres).
While much of the route follows paved lochside roads, be prepared for varied terrain. Sections along the old railway line can be rough, muddy, and unpaved, making them more suitable for gravel or mountain bikes. You will encounter a demanding zig-zag climb when leaving Lochearnhead, gaining 330 feet in just one mile with a peak gradient of 12%. The South Loch Earn Road, however, offers a gentler, undulating ride along the quieter side of the loch.
This loop is notable for integrating parts of the unique BLiSS Trail, an art trail featuring ornamental sculptures. You can also explore sections of a historic railway line being developed into a dedicated cycle path, including the memorable Glen Ogle Viaduct. Along the way, you will pass historic sites such as Edinample Castle and Ardvorlich House, adding a cultural dimension to your scenic ride.
