My husband and I went here on the last day of our holiday as a short walk before heading home, we read the walk highlands description and set off from the visitor centre following the blue way markers turning left at the deer centre . The broad path climbed gradually uphill affording us great views of Cairn Gorm, the path then led onto a narrow forest path which was very rough and descended very steeply down to the loch the path would be very slippery in wet conditions and not for the elderly or inexperienced. However we arrived at the loch and it was beautiful and well worth the hike, we returned on a broad path back to the visitor centre which if we had known we would have used on our outward journey. For future travellers instead of turning left and following the blue way marker at the deer centre continue straight on at the deer centre and follow the old logging path also marked by a blue marker

We took the blue route - which I have to say under described how treacherous this route can be. The 6km round trip involved the first 3.5km being a steep gravel up hill which then turned into a rocky steep decline through the forest and down the side of the mountain! The map needs to make this clearer as the simpler (and less treacherous) way would be to go straight ahead past the deer centre and not follow the blue path left before it. BUT when we got to the bottom it was a lovely sight. Not as green as some of the photos we’ve seen but worth it. The leisurely trail back through the forest was much more pleasureable. And easier on the heart!

Worth the walk (a hard walk on the footpath but with splendid views) or cycle ride (along the forestry path). Probably gets very busy but we went in the late afternoon. Makes a nice round trip on foot from Glenmore visitor centre. Friendly ducks will home in on anyone who looks like they may be carrying food!

Loved this walk so much, what a beautiful loche and fun folklore story behind it that the kids loved. The only issue is I wish it was a better sign posted / written route. I couldn’t find much info so we parked in a car park that looked like it was part of the route on the map but it wasn’t, so I’d 100% recommend parking at the reindeer centre and walking along that road. Every time we followed the signs to get back to the car park we used we ended up going in circles, so wouldn’t recommend parking at allt mor

If you are passing Aviemore then you must visit here. Unbelievable colour of the loch. We did a full circuit which took around 1.5 hours with stops for photos. Park at the visitors centre and just follow the signs. You won’t be disappointed unique experience

You set out from Glenmore cafe pass The Reindeer Centre on your left then straight on, about a 40 minute walk, foot path all the way. then on your right The Green Loch just appears, just be careful going down to it, keep watching your feet lots of tree roots and stones. Then enjoy the tranquility. Special place .

Lovely short walk suitable for pram and dog. We went early and got parked along the road right beside the start of the path, 20 min walk there and back. The Loch is beautiful!

Walked up quite late in the day so not busy at all. Bit of a trek ( we'd done Loch Eilien already that day) but lovely walk. The loch was so colourful ( green) and so peaceful. Was abt 3.5 miles from the reindeer centre and back. Well worth it.
