Loch Arklet is a freshwater loch located in Stirlingshire, Scotland. It is situated within the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, approximately 22 miles northwest of the town of Stirling. The loch covers an area of around 2.5 square kilometers and is nestled amidst picturesque hills and forests.

The loch is fed by several small streams and rivers, including the Arklet Water, which flows into the eastern end of the loch. It is surrounded by diverse vegetation, including patches of woodland and heather moorland, adding to its natural beauty. The surrounding area is also home to a variety of wildlife, including otters, red deer, and a wide range of bird species.

Loch Arklet is a popular spot for outdoor activities such as fishing and boating. Anglers are attracted to the loch's abundance of brown trout, which thrive in its clear and unpolluted waters. The calm and serene environment also makes it a great place for canoeing and kayaking.

The loch's shoreline is largely undeveloped, with only a few scattered houses and farmsteads. This contributes to the Loch Arklet's unspoiled and tranquil atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy scenic walks around the loch, taking in the breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. There are also several designated picnic areas, providing a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings.

Overall, Loch Arklet offers a peaceful retreat in the heart of Scotland's stunning countryside, where visitors can immerse themselves in nature and enjoy a range of outdoor pursuits.

The old military road The military road was built so that soldiers could move quickly during the time of troubles in the 1700's. It is only about a metre wide but was so well laid that it is still a good walkers' path and the modern road runs very close to it between Inversnaid and Trossachs Pier.
