Much of the loch is covered by vegetation, although there is still plenty of open water. This part is particularly clogged with the remains of last year's greater reedmace (Typha latifolia). The loch and part of Dougalston Estate are designated as a Local Nature Conservation Site by East Dunbartonshire Council. The houses in the background are on Bridgegait and Finlay Rise.
