This is a pool at t a bend in the River Lochay as it passes through Killin Golf Club. We were there midweek, mid July and it was quiet. Parking in the golf club car park gives you a short walk down to the river. Access is easy. The entry is shallow but drops away into the river proper pretty quickly where the current is stronger. Down river is a small natural weir it is possible to drift to before turning back. Lovely spot for a dook, will deffo return.

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.

A tow float, shoes with grip for slippery banks, and warm layers for after. Water shoes protect against rocks and debris on the riverbed.
