It is imperative to use a 4×4 or a vehicle with high clearance to navigate the rugged track successfully.

The loch is a brief ten-minute walk away. Follow the forest ride in a NNW direction, and upon encountering the deer fence, climb the stile or gate. The loch is situated 200m to the East.

Limited information is available about the fishing prospects, but given the nature of this loch, it is unlikely to harbour a substantial fish population.
Anglers are advised to initiate fishing at a considerable distance from the bank, as fish lie close in.
