[2][3] The path is suitable for walkers and cyclists; much of the route is also suitable for experience horse riders, although the middle section along the shoreline of Loch Katrine is tarmacked and so may not be ideal for horses.

[3] The path is listed as one of Scotland's Great Trails by NatureScot,[1] and also links to two of the other Great Trails, the West Highland Way and the Rob Roy Way.

[5][6] The path also links to National Cycle Route 7 at Callander.

[7] Launched in April 2015,[8] the path lies almost completely within the Great Trossachs Forest National Nature Reserve.

[9] The national nature reserve project aims to deliver a varied landscape that provides habitats for species that are otherwise rare in Britain, including black grouse, golden eagle, osprey, wildcat, pine marten, red squirrel, water vole and otter.
