There's also a couple of gift shops, toilet facilities and places for refreshments.

    The Falls of Falloch feature one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the Trossachs National Park, a 5-minute hike into the forest along an easy paved path. If it is a warm day, why not dip your toes in the water while you take in the beauty around you for some moments.
