The River Garry in Perth and Kinross offers a scenic paddling route, with a known access point at Garry Bridge, which is also used for bungee jumping. From here, paddlers can head upstream, though the navigability above this point is uncertain and may require poling. Downstream, the river flows into Loch Tummel. A significant hazard is the waterfall known as Soldier's Leap at Killiecrankie; this is a major obstacle requiring a portage. The surrounding terrain here is steep, but established footpaths may assist in carrying boats around this section. The river's character through the Pass of Killiecrankie is dramatic, with wooded gorges and historical interest, including information boards along the shore paths. The stretch from Blair Atholl or Calvine downstream to the Garry Bridge is a subject of inquiry for its paddling potential, but the river above these points is generally considered not navigable from roadside observations. Autumn is noted as a particularly worthwhile season to paddle this river. The River Garry flows southeast for approximately 22 miles through Atholl before joining the River Tummel northeast of Pitlochry.
