  ## Geography
  
  Loch Kennard is located within and surrounded Griffin Forest and is one of a handful of small lochs within the forest that are popular with walkers. On the east shore of the loch lies the remains of an old boatshed. An accompanying Loch Kennard Lodge, that was constructed in 1870 for wealthy fishing parties, was removed when Griffin Forest was planted.
