Car parking or bus drop off are right beside the falls. Just a quick walk to the road bridge & the falls can be viewed. Walk a little further (literally 500m) to the old bridge for a different view. Head back to the car park & follow the wooden path for 5 minutes to view the falls from an old dove cot style building

Free car park after a stunning drive around Loch Ness, short (easy) walk through the forest down to the summer house. Great views from here of the falls & river, can easily get some nice photos. Much preferred to Falls at Foyer (lots of steps) for only one waterfall, quite a climb back up…not sure it’s worth it! Stick to this one.

These falls are stunning. We parked in a little car park, and did a sort of circular walk to both the bridge and summerhouse views. The summerhouse was my favourite, but both are beautiful.
It was quite rainy when we visited so very quiet, but I imagine it gets busy during the summer months.

You can view the falls from both sides of the road. One side is from the bridge and the other side will lead into the woods to the summer house which is only a short walk from the parking. Really nice views and nice setting. One of the rocks you see from the summer house looks like it has the eye of Horus on it, but I suppose it depends on how high the water level is whether you can see that or not.

Wow, this place is just stunning in Autumn. I hoped the pictures would do it justice but ultimately they don't encapsulate the vivid and contrasting colours.
You can park for free at the car park in Glenmoriston (known as Invermoriston on some maps), directly off the A82. It's a short walk of around 200 metres to the edge of the river and there's a short, 10 minute oval-shaped walk that takes you via an old summerhouse with great views of the A82 stone bridge (pics 3 and 4).
It can be muddy under foot and children / dogs will need supervising by the river's edge as it's a steep and perilous drop. Also, if you're completing the circuit by skirting the field, just watch out for the barbed fence as it punctured a hole in our eldest's jacket.

This is the type of rural scene that makes the Highlands of Scotland so appealing. Compared with many waterfalls this neither has any great size nor water flow- Niagara is certainly under no threat. Park you car in the village (free) and it is a 5 minute walk to the old bridge with a pleasant view . Cross this and walk back to the main road (1933 bridge) from which there are also good views. A very pleasant leisurely 30 minutes and best of all it’s both free and dog friendly.

These gals are perhaps hidden and we would have missed them if we were not with our tour guide from Alba Experiences.
We did not walk along the river as some have done, we did not have that long, our choice.
The old bridge and newer bridge are close together and is good for picture taking.
Watching the water flow and fall is quite tranquil.
I would recommend that even a short stop is taken here.

We saw various falls on holiday including Foyer Falls. We were staying at Invermoriston and popped down to see the falls on our last day. So glad we did as these were the best falls we saw all week. They are absolutely spectacular.

The falls were lovely and only a few minutes walk from the car park. Definitely worth a wee stop. There is also a cafe nearby.

Would it be possible to park with a caravan, what about leaving the caravan unhitched for a couple of hours

Only a few minutes, there is a track to the side if the toilet block which leads through the wood and to the falls. it can be very muddy so wear good boots or wellies and is quite uneven. Worth the short walk.

Sorry for answering with such a delay, probably You do not need it anymore, but anyway I would allow about one hour for the visit.

Yes, there's parking, toilets and picnic tables. All free. Trail starts at one side of the car park, actually.
