Beveridges Locks Trail

This BL starts at a parking area at Lower Beveridge Locks, point 11BA, 2.6 km SW from Port Elmsley. The lock station has toilets and drinking water and, as at most other lock stations, current RTA members hiking the RT can camp overnight with permission of the Lockmaster and payment of a fee. From point 11BA, the BL goes 120 m NW on Beveridge Locks Rd, then L and under a bridge at Port Elmsley Rd 18, and another 500 m NW beside the Tay Canal, L, to the Upper Beveridges Lock. It then goes R and bends L to skirt Beveridge Marsh, L. After 1.3 km, a track L leads to an observation platform overlooking the Tay Marsh. The BL used to end 100 m past the track at point 11BB at the Beveridge Dam on the Tay River; it has now been extended over the dam to its W side.
