This lovely little river feeds into Loch Freuchie, so a great day can be had exploring the two. At Loch Freuchies far western end, underneath a little stone humpback bridge, the River Quaich meanders into the Loch. By putting in here (and with a bit of a stoop to get under the bridge), you can enjoy a stunning paddle up the river, as far as you want to go (weather dependant). It meanders back and forth, so it is very slow moving, and has a fantastic exploration feel about it.

Loch Freuchie

Paddling on Loch Freuchie really is about getting away from it all. Its a fairly remote Loch, equidistant between Dunkeld, Aberfeldy and Crieff (all between 10 and 12 miles away). Loch Freuchie (Gaelic - Fraoch - 'the heatherly loch') offers stunning views of the Breadalbane mountains and a real feeling of getting away from it all. Its also only a few kilometres in length, making it perfect for a circumnavigation. Why not, bring along a picnic so you can stop along one of its beaches too?,

Access onto the water is probably easiest from the Loch's western end, just off a private road leading to a small humpback bridge. Take extra care and consideration while finding a spot to leave your car. To find Loch Freuchie, take the road signposted 'Glen Quaich' of the A822 in the small settlement of Amulree.
