Amazing spot wheee the road passes over the River Feshie. The upstream side of the bridge has rapids, the downstream is deep with medium current. Popular spot with locals and people staying at Loch Insh centre. There’s 4-5m cliffs that you can jump off, a rope swing too. We clambered along the rocks under the bridge and jumped into the pools from the falls and floated about 200m downstream where it was a shallow bank to get out. We wore bouancy aids as it’s very deep. Great walks nearby.
Location

Frequently asked questions
Is this river safe for swimming?
Check the Conditions tab for current flow rate and recent rainfall. Rivers can become dangerous after heavy rain. Review community reports for hazards like weirs, strong currents, or access issues.
How cold is the water?
Check the Temperature tab for the current estimate and 7-day trend. River temperatures respond quickly to weather changes. In the UK, expect 5-10°C in winter and 15-20°C in summer at most locations.
What should I bring?
A tow float, shoes with grip for slippery banks, and warm layers for after. Water shoes protect against rocks and debris on the riverbed.
What should I know before swimming here?
Check recent rainfall. Rivers rise fast after heavy rain. Never swim in fast-flowing or flooded water. Test entry/exit before you commit. River banks can be undercut. Cold water shock is real. Enter slowly and control your breathing. Watch for submerged obstacles like branches, weirs, and rocks. Conditions change fast. Always check the latest data, read recent community reports, and swim within your ability.
