Loch Eck is a freshwater lake in the Scottish Lowlands. It is located about ten kilometers north of Dunoon in the Council Area Argyll and Bute in the Argyll Forest Park , which in turn is part of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park . The east bank of the lake is easy to reach via the well-developed A815. The west bank, on the other hand, is only accessible by forest paths.
Loch Eck has the typical elongated shape of a lake created by glaciers in the Ice Age . It is 9.5 km long, but only about 500 m wide. The maximum depth is 42 m. The lake receives its water mainly at the north end from the Cur stream and drains into the River Eachaig in the south , which flows five kilometers southeast via Holy Loch into the Firth of Clyde . On the east bank and at the south end of Loch Eck there are holiday settlements where huts can be rented for self-catering. The relatively unspoilt west bank is a popular area for hikers.
