Diversion between Balloch and Helensburgh

 

3rd July 2024, by Anne

IMPORTANT NOTICE! Updated 3 October 2025

Work to clear fallen trees and create a new pathway through the forest where "Impassable Area" is marked on the map is ongoing. This affects all Three Lochs Way and John Muir Way users. Scottish Woodlands are working to upgrade the roads and we hope the eventual path will be a significant improvement.  Please observe the diversion signs and any advice from contractors working in the area with heavy equipment. Access over the hill is not possible but the diversion is still a great route and only 1 kilometre longer.
