You will gain 236 feet (72 metres) as you explore green woods and farmland south of Arisaig village. The path offers picturesque views of Loch nan Eala, where you might spot various birds.

Bringing appropriate footwear is recommended to ensure a comfortable experience on these parts of the route.
Beyond the scenic vistas, the Strath of Arisaig Trail is notable for its diverse natural environment. As you hike, keep an eye out for woodland birds and otters that inhabit the area.
