A large part of the wider Trossachs is covered by extensive tracts of forest. Much of this forest lies in The Queen Elizabeth Forest Park. The forest park covers 50,000 acres of land consisting of a mixture of commercial forest, semi-natural and ancient woodland, and open space and is managed by Forest Enterprise.
Within the boundaries of the park are three main forests, Loch Ard Forest, Achray Forest, and Strathyre Forest and these are particularly suitable for walkers and cyclists with many waymarked trails including a connection with the Glasgow - Killin Cycleway.
