Inversnaid Falls

Inversnaid Falls is formed where the Arklet Burn (also called Arklet Water) tumbles down into Loch Lomond, on the eastern shore of the loch in the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park.

The falls sit just south of the Inversnaid Hotel and are easily reached via a short path leading down to a bridge over a peaceful pool at the base of the cascade.

The waterfall inspired Victorian poet Gerard Manley Hopkins to write his celebrated poem "Inversnaid," which closes with the lines: "What would the world be, once bereft / Of wet and of wildness?

Let them be left, / O let them be left, wildness and wet; / Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet." The falls can be reached by road via the B829 from Aberfoyle, or by boat across Loch Lomond from Tarbet.

The West Highland Way passes directly in front of the nearby hotel, and the surrounding area includes an RSPB nature reserve protecting rare Atlantic oak woodland.
