Scottish SUP Guide - Number Nineteen - Loch Venacher
Matt Gambles • 30 April 2020
Loch Venacher
Loch Venachar lies between the popular tourist town of Callander and the small settlement of Brig o’ Turk in the heart of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. At 3.7 miles long it offers a big area to explore in a lovely forested landscape. Despite its size it still offers a fair amount of protection from the prevailing wind with plenty of nooks and crannies. The further west you put in, the more calm water you are likely to find.
A good paddle is from the beaches near the Venacher Lochside Cafe on the northern shore (A821) across the Loch to Invertrossachs, which has plenty of secluded beaches and tiny islands to explore.
Portnellan island in Loch Venachar is an Iron Age crannog which is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
