Start at the Drummond Hill Forest Walks car park, just north of Kenmore, and follow the blue Black Rock waymarkers. The route climbs west through the woodland, doubles back along a broad zigzag and then turns west again towards Black Rock. At the viewpoint, look across Loch Tay and down towards Kenmore before returning by the same waymarked route.
Allow about two hours for this forest walk. The gravel is uneven and the climb includes sustained slopes and some steeper sections. Wear footwear with a good grip, take care on the descent and stay within the viewpoint area. Keep dogs close and avoid disturbing wildlife.
Daytime parking is free at the forest car park. The nearest public toilets and cafe are at the Mains of Taymouth courtyard in Kenmore. The separate Caisteal MacTuathal hill-fort trail is currently closed because of windblown trees: do not add that circuit, and follow any further notices at the forest entrance.
Route and access information checked against Forestry and Land Scotland's Drummond Hill visitor guide, current alerts and Black Rock trail map on 4 October 2026.
