Extending westwards to Loch Lomond from Loch Venachar in the Trossachs district of Stirling Council Area, the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park comprises 16,780 ha (41,454 acres) of moorland and plantations. It was purchased by the State in 1928 and designated a National Forest Park in 1953, the year of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. The park includes Loch Ard Forest, Ben Lomond and the headwaters of the River Forth, all lying within the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park.
