    [wiki=349fc8661394d8a1c104bc2e7d6199d8]Balloch[/wiki] -- located at the southern end of Loch Lomond, it is the main town on the loch, and can get busy. The TIC / visitors centre called Loch Lomond Shores can help you plan your stay and provide you with close-area maps. Has a railway station.
    * [wiki=3ec3bd9f735516cc04e38f6881030662]Crianlarich[/wiki] - located about 12km beyond the northern head of Loch Lomond; the most signposted village in Scotland is a major junction for both road and rail, and is dominated by the dramatic peak of Ben More, which is one of its biggest attractions for walkers.
    *Luss -- a town without any attractions other than its beautiful appearance and cottages, which are still worth a visit. Once famous for its connection to the now defunct TV series Take The High Road.
    *Rowardennan - a tiny hamlet which is the last stop on the public road up the eastern shore, and makes a great base to explore [wiki=597184b2feedaee46f3ea46be19e3abf]Ben Lomond[/wiki] - Scotland's most southerly Munro.
    *[wiki=3a7535d33bb43b7643ff13ca14c0e7df]Drymen[/wiki] -- good base for the Conic Hill, also a nice pub (claimed to be the oldest in Scotland) and Buchanan castle.
    *[wiki=cc10224fbf00946d6de810469d713510]Tarbet[/wiki] -- a large village near the centre of the west shore with railway station
    *[wiki=1686c48165d86aabbb5120ac84756945]Ardlui[/wiki] - a small hamlet at the northern tip of the loch, best known for its marina and hotel.

    • By car

      Loch Lomond itself has two routes that run up its shores. The main A82 Glasgow-Inverness trunk road runs up the west bank, and is a good quality single carriageway as far at the village of Tarbet, but then becomes extremely twisty and windy for the northern third of the shore. The east bank is less accessible, the small villages of Drymen and Balmaha being the two main bases for exploring the Loch’s eastern shores. The road only goes as far as Rowardennan and is barely double track beyond Balmaha: however it does provide access to Ben Lomond as well as several campsites. For anywhere beyond Rowardennan, you will need to either walk or use a boat - some of the cruise companies do call at the key points on the east bank that are north of where the road terminates.

    • By train

      ScotRail [url=http://www.scotrail.co.uk]]operate local trains frequently from [[Glasgow[/url]]'s Queen Street Station (Low Level) to [wiki=349fc8661394d8a1c104bc2e7d6199d8]Balloch[/wiki] which is at the end of the line. The station in Balloch is easy to find.

      From [wiki=03cf54d8ce19777b12732b8c50b3b66f]Edinburgh[/wiki], take either the main 'Shuttle' service to Glasgow Queen Street (High Level), then go downstairs to Platform 8 to pick up the Balloch train described above. Alternatively, you can take the direct (but slower) train to Platform 8 directly on the Airdrie-Bathgate line that is bound for Helensburgh Central or Milngavie, and change to the Balloch service in exactly the same way - there is probably little difference in overall journey time.

      Several trains run daily up the [wiki=32a3747ab2e7dd7b9df1b3b93091ed2d]West Highland Line[/wiki] between [wiki=d586293d554981ed611ab7b01316d2d5]Glasgow[/wiki] and [wiki=6e1eab3b8657c93fd95a3280469eb281]Oban[/wiki], [wiki=586e5fa25c16bd09e3e9cfc7cc269360]Fort William[/wiki] and [wiki=f88d7cd42561687a9a23a1e64012b799]Mallaig[/wiki] which stop at [wiki=cc10224fbf00946d6de810469d713510]Tarbet[/wiki] and [wiki=1686c48165d86aabbb5120ac84756945]Ardlui[/wiki] on the north-west shore as well as [wiki=3ec3bd9f735516cc04e38f6881030662]Crianlarich[/wiki] and [wiki=729ceb2e328275cef5622aa2c562a654]Tyndrum[/wiki] in the northern part of the park. These leave from the upper level of Glasgow's Queen Street station.

      The Caledonian Sleeper from [wiki=59ead8d1e124ccfb79f3ace06f43e703]London[/wiki] also runs up here - see the ScotRail website for further details.

    • By Bus

      Buses run frequently between [wiki=349fc8661394d8a1c104bc2e7d6199d8]Balloch[/wiki] and [wiki=d586293d554981ed611ab7b01316d2d5]Glasgow[/wiki].

      The First Group bus service towards Balloch picks up passengers at the bus stop opposite McDonalds at Jamaica Street. A full day unlimited travel ticket costs about 4 pounds.

      Several Citylink [url=http://www.citylink.co.uk]]buses a day between [[Glasgow[/url]] and [wiki=74d4a0f5844daf6cdca27426bf010aa4]Campbeltown[/wiki], [wiki=6e1eab3b8657c93fd95a3280469eb281]Oban[/wiki] or [wiki=586e5fa25c16bd09e3e9cfc7cc269360]Fort William[/wiki] and the [wiki=881f32366cabc700634e3df10bc7bee9]Isle of Skye[/wiki] travel along the western shore (A82) of the Loch. These will stop at all bus stops and laybys north of Balloch, including Luss, Inverbeg, [wiki=cc10224fbf00946d6de810469d713510]Tarbet[/wiki] and [wiki=1686c48165d86aabbb5120ac84756945]Ardlui[/wiki]. Be advised that prices can be expensive if bought on the bus at the time of travel, for example a single from Balloch Roundabout to Luss can cost £6+.

    • By bike

      To enjoy the nature, it is best to go by bike. There's a (relatively!) well-maintained and signposted cycleway from Glasgow to Balloch called National Route 7. A good place to join it is Bells Bridge over the Clyde by the SECC (Scottish Exhibition and Conference Center). It's a fairly flat 20-25 miles.

    • By bus

      Buses run along the Loch, but not that frequently (see above). You should check the departure-times first, as timetables are not usually available at the stops. The National Park Authority publishes a timetable of all the buses and ferries [http://www.lochlomond-trossachs.org/images/stories/visiting/pdf/ActivitiesLeaflets/Exploring%20the%20Park.pdf] which may be available as a booklet locally.

    • By car

      If you're driving, mind that the road along the northern part of Loch Lomond is pretty narrow for the traffic it has.

    • By boat

      Sightseeing trips by boat run from Loch Lomond Shores near Balloch.

      There is also a useful passenger ferry between Inverbeg (served by Citylink buses) and Rowardennan (at the foot of [wiki=597184b2feedaee46f3ea46be19e3abf]Ben Lomond[/wiki] mountain).

    *Balloch Castle Country Park, Balloch. The first park in the national park with a castle you can visit. The castle itself only has two accessible rooms with only little information about the castle , but rather some educational informations about the national park. It was built in the early 20th century to replace the old castle located further down the hill, and only served as a manor house.
    *Luss Village Paths, Luss (along the A82). A beautiful town with four walks around town and a sandy beach. A map can be picked up at Balloch TIC or at the Luss Visitor Information.

    Cycling is probably the best outdoor activity besides hiking. The Lowland Highland Trail, which is part of the National Cycle Network Route 7 starts from Balloch, going north to [wiki=3a7535d33bb43b7643ff13ca14c0e7df]Drymen[/wiki], Aberfoyle, [wiki=445e1e0a36391bec5639b536e43ed63c]Callander[/wiki], Strathyre, Lochearnhead and Killin. Free leaflets with a map of the bike trail can be picked up at TICs along the trail. There is another cycle path along the western shores of Loch Lomond. Bikes can be hired at the Loch Lomond Shores (see above).
    *Hiking is also a good idea. You could for example go to Rowardennan and then hike up Ben Lomond. The long-distance [wiki=12a11a3198135f822f86c72b62bb41fc]West Highland Way[/wiki] also runs along the eastern shore on its way from [wiki=9c2683953628f6603f28a014c0fb9a07]Milingavie[/wiki] (near [wiki=d586293d554981ed611ab7b01316d2d5]Glasgow[/wiki]) to [wiki=586e5fa25c16bd09e3e9cfc7cc269360]Fort William[/wiki].
