The point at which the river enters the loch Loch Etive (Scottish Gaelic, Loch Eite) is a 30 km sea loch in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It reaches the sea at Connel, 5 km north of Oban. It measures 31.6 km (19 3⁄4 miles) long and from 1.2 km ( 3⁄4 mile) to 1.6 km (1 mi) wide. Its depth varies greatly, up to a maximum of 150 m (490 ft). The River Etive drains into Loch Etive from its source near Kingshouse on Glencoe, Rannoch Moor. A small, single track road runs alongside the river for its 11 ml/18 km course to the loch – this road is widely regarded as one of the most picturesque roads in all of Scotland.

The River Etive (Scottish Gaelic: Abhainn Èite) rises on the peaks surrounding Rannoch Moor, with several tributary streams coming together at the Kings House Hotel, at the head of Glen Coe. From the Kings House, the Etive flows through Glen Etive for about 11ml/18 km, reaching the sea at Loch Etive.

Glen Etive (Scottish Gaelic: Gleann Èite) is a glen in the Highlands ( Argyll and Bute) of Scotland. A single track road, widely regarded as one of the most picturesque roads in all of Scotland, runs from the Kings House Hotel down the glen for some 11 ml/18 km. This meandering road was actually built to serve the tiny hamlets of Dalness and Gualachulainng and several houses and farms. This road ends at the head of the loch, though rough tracks continue along both shores.
