About

Just after you come off the Corran Ferry and turn left, once you get round the bend with the lighthouse you can find a space and pull over at the side of the road fairly quickly. It was fairly exposed and open and the water was quite shallow to a long way out. There are small stones and pebbles underfoot. You can swim out to watch the ferry crossing and enjoy views down the loch.

Location

Getting there

You can access the Loch straight away from the side of the road. Alternatively there is more of a sand beach when you first come off the ferry and you could park opposite where the cars go on and off and the coffee shack is. The swim may be more sheltered there.

Frequently asked questions

Is this lake safe for swimming?

Check the Conditions tab for surface state and wind conditions. Review the Quality tab if this is a designated bathing water. Always read recent community reports for local advice.

How cold is the water?

Check the Temperature tab for the current estimate and 7-day trend. Lakes hold heat longer than rivers but can develop a thermocline. The water below the surface can be dramatically colder.

What should I bring?

A tow float for visibility (especially important where boats operate), warm layers for after, and consider a wetsuit in colder months. Check for designated swimming areas.

What should I know before swimming here?

Cold water shock is real. Enter slowly and control your breathing. Lake water can be much colder below the surface (thermocline). Stay close to shore until you know the conditions. Watch for boat traffic and stay visible with a tow float. Check for blue-green algae warnings before swimming. Conditions change fast. Always check the latest data, read recent community reports, and swim within your ability.
