This is a great place for spotting wildlife, birds and insects and also native flora and fauna and woodland wildflowers. The waymarked walks guide you to impressive geological features such as the Burn O' Vat and historical stones and buildings. They range from just under a mile and up to nearly four miles on the Loch Kinord circular path. There is also a visitor centre which tells the story of how the different elements of the reserve evolved and what you are likely to see if you go out and about. You can find out how glaciers carved up the landscape, how the lochs and bogs formed, how well the woodland is doing and why the reserve is so special.

The reserve is situated just within the Cairngorms National Park.
