Connel Bridge and the Falls of Lora

---

The Falls of Lora is a tidal race which forms at the mouth of Loch Etive when a particularly high tide runs out from the loch. The falls are generated when the tide level in the Firth of Lorne ( the open sea) drops below the level of the water in Loch Etive as the tide goes out. As the seawater in Loch Etive pours out through the narrow mouth of the loch, it passes over a rocky shelf which causes the rapids to form. The loch mouth is also spanned by Connel Bridge. The race is popular with white water kayakers and divers as well as tourists and photographers.
