Open Easter - October. An optional walk, the Pine Ridge Trail, takes you further along the shores of Loch Drunkie and is an excellent little stroll. The walk starts just beside the toilets at the picnic area part way round the drive. For the best walk do not follow the obvious path, but take the small trail immediately off to the left into the trees and turn right when you reach the loch. This will return you to the car park.
Cyclists can follow the main trail all the way and rejoin the Drive further on.
This pass on the Trossachs trail offers superb views over the Achray forest with a view point on the west side of the road and another on the east side at the entrance to the Achray Forest Drive. Both are worth a visit and the drive over the pass is splendid with the chance of meeting a Scottish bagpiper at the roadside.
