Loch Leven Heritage Trail

Path information

• The Loch Leven Heritage Trail is a 21km circuit of the loch, it is mostly level and barrier-free, providing excellent access for walkers, cyclists and wheelchair users. 
• The Loch is a National Nature Reserve with rare plants, insects and thousands of breeding and wintering birds. It is one of the most important areas for wildfowl in Europe.
• Access to RSPB Loch Leven is via a fully accessible ramp and at Findatie by a long slope (1:12).
• Between RSPB Loch Leven and Kinross the trail avoids a refuge for wildlife by following a route away from the edge of the loch shore.  Users of the trail are therefore requested to stay on the path.
