Zugang
Midway between the towns of Dolgellau, Oswestry and Welshpool. Take minor roads as directed from A5 or A458. Click on the P in the map to get directions. Expect steep, winding and narrow.
Leaving from from the visitor centre there are two marked walks. Yellow trail: This 1 mile/1.6 km circular stroll takes you alongside the riverbank and meandering through sessile oak woodland. Blue trail (shown on the map below): A 3 mile/4.8 km circular walk along forest tracks and lanes with two fairly strenuous climbs and one steep descent. As you descend, you have a spectacular view overlooking the lake.
On the west side of the lake you find the Red trail: A 6 mile/9.6 km circular walk along forest tracks and through clearings. This steady climb with a steep descent at the end to the road will take you through conifer and birch trees. And on the northeast side of the lake you find the Purple trail: A 5 mile/8 km circular walk along forest tracks and roads with a gentle incline and great views. On the north side of the lake you find the Green trail: A 2 mile/3.2 km circular path following the river and leading to the waterfall of Rhiwargor. No steep hills but you will need to cross the stream using stepping stones.
