The Lower Tummel access point sits on the final stretch of the River Tummel between Pitlochry and Ballinluig, where the river meets the Tay. This section is well known among paddlers and anglers alike.

For canoeists, access is gained by turning off the A9 toward Foss and following the minor road to put in below the dam, with limited parking available at a small lay-by.

A gauge rapid near the road helps paddlers assess water levels before committing to the run.

The lower Tummel is also prized for salmon fishing, particularly in spring when cooler temperatures keep fish from ascending easily through the Pitlochry Dam fish pass.

The stretch between Pitlochry and Ballinluig is the most frequently fished section of the river and forms the core of the Pitlochry Angling Association's water.
