About The Lodge Forest Visitor Centre

The Lodge Forest Visitor Centre at Aberfoyle previously known as David Marshall Lodge, offers ranger led events, which occur throughout the year. These include guided walks and talks and seasonal activities for families and visitors.

Way-marked paths start from the visitor centre and range from a gentle half mile wander to a 4 mile trek. The Lodge links to the National Cycle Network route 7 and there is a popular outdoor children's play area. The wildlife viewing room offers the opportunity to see Ospreys setting up their nest and rearing their young.

There is information, exhibits and an expert on hand to answer questions. Live footage of woodland birds feeding is also available. The new Red Squirrel hide offers an exciting chance to view these rare creatures in their natural habitat.
