How to get there & Park
From the chalet in Corpach go down towards the sea and then along to the Canal Basin.If driving to Corpach park at Kilmallie Hall which is very close to the canal basin.

Description
Various sign posts show the Great Glen Cycle Route and the Great Glen Way which follow slightly different routes.From the canal basin cross at the sea lock and follow the path along the shore towards Caol. Then along the sea front in Caol until you come to the main road through Caol. This is marked with cycle lanes for the next 400m. At a rise where the road climbs over the railway there is a foot bridge across the river Lochy. Accross the bridge look for the path which follows the Lochy across the tail race from the Alcan Hydro electric.The path continues alongside the river below Inverlochy village until it reaches the bridge over the river Nevis. Over the bridge either go right then past the shinty pitch to finish at the Fort or if you want to get to the centre of Fort William go left and then towards Morrisons and the underpass which will lead you onto the High Street.
