Visitors can embark on many outstanding walks, both along the shores of the loch and in the surrounding hills. Set within a National Park, Loch Lomond is also the perfect location for woodland adventurers too. For those interested in climbing Ben Lomond, Loch Lomond vacation homes towards the northern edges of the loch would be best. This would also place visitors closer to the lower reaches of the Highlands for more walking opportunities from your Loch Lomond vacation home.
The main appeal of the loch is its openness to all forms of water sports. Companies along the loch offer canoe hire and row and pedal boat hire for holidaymakers to experience the loch first-hand. For those desiring a more hands-off approach, cruises of the loch departing from Balloch are also available. During July and August holidaymakers can enjoy sunset or daytime cruises that allow visitors to explore the loch’s many islands. For those focused on water sports and cruises, one of the Loch Lomond vacation rentals situated close to Balloch would be ideal.
For budding golfers there are two golf courses to make use of: the Loch Lomond Golf Club and the Carrick to add a bit of variety for visitors. The Carrick is around a 10-minute drive from Balloch along the western coast of the loch. The Loch Lomond Golf Club is around a 15-minute drive from Balloch, also on the western coast of the loch and is located near the pretty village of Luss.
