FAQ: What is there to do at the trial site?
Begin your visit at Loch Coille-bharr (due to limited parking facilities, we strongly recommend you leave your vehicle in this car park). From here, you can walk down to the Scottish Beaver Trial Information Centre or you can stay at Loch Collie-bharr to try out our Beaver Detective Trail. This is a challenging walk, taking two hours to follow the sign-posts around the loch. If you are lucky, you may spot a beaver around dusk and dawn. In any case, we hope you spot some evidence of the beavers. We also hope you enjoy walking in a beautiful and rugged place, following the trail which winds around rocky outcrops and through boggy hollows. Please be prepared by wearing hiking boots, and beware of the midges.
Please download a map of Knapdale to see exactly where walkways and parking facilities are available for use.
Make sure you check out our Kids Zone which features lots of fun things to do for all the family.
By timing your visit in the early morning or early evening, you will have the best chance of spotting these intriguing animals in the wild.
