    About

    Carron Valley Reservoir is an expansive man-made reservoir located on the south side of the B818 between Denny and Fintry, nestled within the scenic Campsie Fells. Visitors can explore the dense forest surrounding the water, which is popular for family-friendly cycle rides and waterside strolls. The area is an ideal destination for outdoor activities, offering five miles of purpose-built red-grade mountain biking trails, brown trout fishing, and a hiking route up the prominent peak of Meikle Bin.

    The main car park features a firm gravel surface and provides accessible toilet facilities. Visitors looking for level access can explore the Loch Shore Trail, which is a scenic loop containing a firm gravel surface throughout and a flat section of timber boardwalk. While the trail does include some short steep slopes, it is well equipped with multiple resting places and benches along the route for visitors to stop and enjoy the views.

    Scenic hike with stunning views

    Walking path and biking trail around the reservoir. The trail is along a road and can access Meikle Bin. The steep but easy climb to the summit of Meikle Bin rewards with excellent views over the reservoir and surrounding fields. Popular with families, it is a good challenge for little legs.
