Loch Chon is one of two freshwater lochs in Scotland bearing this name. The other loch is located at Blair Atholl. Loch Chon lies upstream of Loch Ard and to the south of Loch Katrine, and is situated west of the village of Aberfoyle, near the small village of Kinlochard.
In the past, Loch Chon was known as Loch-a-Choin - loch of the dog/dogs.
It releases its water into the 4.5-kilometre (2.8 mi) long Water of Chon, which not far from the outlet passes Loch Dhu, and is the main affluent of Loch Ard. Loch Chon itself is fed by several small streams which can be considered to be the true sources of the River Forth.
There are three islands in the loch. Two are unnamed, including the largest, which is roughly 315 feet/96 metres long. The medium sized island is called Heron Island and is roughly 230 feet/70 metres long.
