Salmon Trail is one of the many trails starting in the village of Boat of Garten. This circular walk runs along Kinchurdy Road to the edge of the village, across the railway and returns alongside the River Spey. Distance 2.5 miles (4km); approx. 1 hour walking (without geocaching) and is also a good cycling route. Please keep dogs on leads near livestock and cross the railway with care in case the Steam Train is passing.
This series of caches are all along the riverside stretch of the trail within 20m of the main path. No caches have been put on Kinchurdy road in case you wish to walk along the woodland paths and find the caches in nearby Deshar Woods. There is limited parking near BoG Crossroads cache and a layby near the golf course (see waypoint). If parking near the golf course the Salmon Trail starts near the golf course entrance - so walk towards the village / railway bridge from the layby (away from the river). Caches have been placed with kind permission of Seafield Estate.
The northern part of the Salmon Trail near the river also runs along edge of the Boat of Garten Golf & Tennis Club. Golf is very popular in this area with many options for the enthusiastic: Carrbridge Golf Club, Abernethy Golf Club, Dalfaber Golf & Country Club, Macdonald Spey Valley Championship Golf Course, Kingussie Golf Club, Newtonmore Golf Club and Grantown-on-Spey Golf Club.
