Set back from Glen Lyon and out of roadside view for the most part, Càrn Mairg is a grass covered mountain with bouldery ground on its crests along which lines of fenceposts aid hillwalkers' navigation.

Most people bag Càrn Mairg in a circular route starting from Invervar in Glen Lyon. This leads through North Chesthill Estate, which for many years has been the focus of access issues.
