  • "A total disgrace. What is wrong with people? They've carried it there, carry the rubbish home!!"

  • "A warning plaque in memoriam on the bridge amplifies the risks."
  • "There is no protection near fast flowing water."

Accessibility and Parking

Pros:

  • "Free parking. Lots of places & angles to view the waterfall from."
  • "Free small car park at the side of the road and the falls are free to visit."
  • "The Falls themselves are definitely worth the five minute walk, mostly by prepared paths."
  • "The car park is reasonable and the pathways, though a little muddy are level enough for my mother and her walking sticks."
  • "Very easy to locate, parking only 3 mins walk from the main falls and viewing bridge."
  • "The car park is free but quite small and folks tend to park on the verges up the road when it gets full."

Cons:

  • "Limited parking and the entrance to the car park quickly springs up on you off the main road so keep an eye."
  • "The car park is rather small and it is somewhat awkward to find."
  • "Only a short walk from the limited parking area on the road north of Loch Lomond, and not accessible for a wheelchair."
  • "The car park is off-putting as it's cramped and quite disorganised."
  • "I imagine in summer it would be very hard to park."
  • "Parking isnt very big and you need to stick to main routes to not slip down if it rains."
  • "Also be warned of very very large potholes in the car park so take it extremely slow!"

Safety and Cleanliness

Pros:

  • "Safe to swim and jump after you get past the initial rocky entrance."
  • "Well-made path, children need supervision near waterfall and river edge."
  • "There is a path to the falls which is wheelchair accessible and a viewing platform."
  • "Beautiful scenery at any time of year, the walk area seems well maintained."
  • "Keep your children close especially near the uprooted tree roots off path in the wet, they are very slippery in the wet."
  • "The main path is easy accessable and there is a viewing platform to view this natural phenomenon in all it's splendour."
  • "Path is steep and rough in places so not suitable for prams or wheelchairs. But short enough for most people and even small children could easily access."

Cons:

  • "A dangerous place to swim and dive, which no one is following."
  • "The car park isn't great for motorhomes though as we got stuck there and had to reverse all the way out."
  • "A very beautiful place but lots of people leave their rubbish there at different spots which is not good at all."
  • "Why has the local community allowed it to become so disgusting? It needs serious attention to remove all the trash."
  • "Unfortunately on our visit it was full of litter. Please take this home with you!"
  • "Its without question that the falls are beautiful, the only down side is the litter left in and around the waters edge."
  • "Omg, the GARBAGE! Everywhere!!!!"
