Rogie Falls Hike

The Rogie Falls hike takes you through Torrachility Forest to a spectacular suspension bridge that spans the Black Water River. From there, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the falls. This short, accessible trail near Inverness is an ideal outing for the whole family.

In August and September, you can watch wild salmon swim upstream and make impressive leaps to reach their spawning grounds.
