Glenmore Forest Park

Following the wildfire incident which began 15 July 2026, the Coylumbridge roadblock and some path closures have been lifted, meaning it is possible to access most of Glenmore Forest Park. 

However, the area between the ski road and the Ryvoan Trail has been significantly affected by the wildfire and firefighting efforts. There are large areas with unstable trees and ground, and there remains a risk of flare-ups and smoke as the fire continues underground. 

For your safety and to enable our staff and contractors to work as efficiently as possible, please follow onsite signage and respect the exclusion zone while we conduct safety checks and continue restoration work so we can reopen this area as soon as it is safe to do so. It's also currently not permitted to fly drones anywhere in the park while thermal drone and helicopter operations continue in the area as part of the ongoing wildfire incident. 

The exclusion zone includes our Allt Mor and Allt Ban car parks, the Ryvoan and Lodge Trails, An Lochan Uaine / the Green Lochan, the eastern path on Meall a' Bhuachaille, and the right of way between Glenmore and Nethy Bridge. 

In the meantime, we are delighted to welcome you to the areas around Badaguish, Upper Rothiemurchus and Loch Morlich, including our waymarked Beach Trail, Pine Knoll Trail, and Loch Morlich Circular Trail. Please check the web pages for individual car parks for more information.
