Probably the toughest stretch of the WHW, path is fairly rough and boulder-strewn, the last section between Inversnaid and the northern end of the loch was a bit of a slog, but we started from Balmaha to be fair so quite a long day....
Chris
However at the very start there is some bad marsh land which really slowed us down and makes it quite a tough start....
Ryan Cope
Conic Hill is a big climb but worth it (even on a very misty day) and Balmaha is a great place to stop for coffee and/or lunch....
Fiona Gilmore
It’s a beautiful walk following the loch but pretty tricky at times. Lots of ups and downs and uneven terrain. It’s still really lush, especially when you happen upon little booths selling snacks for hikers!...
Holly
Beautiful views from the top of conic hill and then lovely descent to the start of Loch Lomond....
Holly
Recent washout in July has meant that some sections are very difficult indeed with paths and bridges washed away and there is a lot of ascent and decent on slippery rocks and routes. The Loch side section from Rowardennan to the hotel at Inversnaid can be avoided by taking an upper track but there are still slippery and difficult sections to get to the hotel....
Lakeswalkers
The alternative to Conic Hill involves a lot of road walking and some of the facilities on both sides of the road were not very walker friendly....
Lakeswalkers
We got caught in the rain at the end which made things trickier over uneven ground, then marshy before both. A lovely route in fair weather! We stopped over at Doune Byrne, for a food over our heads....
Pip Hambling
Conic hill was a highlight! Then down into the pub in Balmaha. Would definitely walk again!...

Walk this routeOften known as one of the more difficult stretches of the West Highland Way, this route has a lot of ups and downs, tree routes, stream/river crossings, and other obstacles that will make it challenging to get a good pace....
