The links above lead to information about some of the better known lochs in the Loch Lomond National Park. There are many more lochs than most people realise and many of the more beautiful lochs require a little effort on your part to reach them. Some of the lesser known lochs are simple away from the road; some are up in the hills, and some are 'lochans' - gaelic for 'little loch' which are mostly among the hills.

The lochs in the heart of the Trossachs tend to be the more popular for scenic beauty , reflections, fishing and quiet relaxation.

Loch Katrine is best known for its steamer - the steamship Sir Walter Scott. The area around Loch Katrine is popular for cyclists and walkers

Loch Lomond is the best known loch, with the most popular part being the southern end on the east shores where water sports are encouraged.

To the north are Loch Earn, loch Tay, Loch Lyon and loch Dochart. These are truly highland lochs surrounded by some of the higher mountains
