Several islands lie within the loch, the largest being Eilean Rìgh, Eilean Mhic Chrion and Island Macaskin. The village of Ardfern lies on its northwestern shore.[3]
Loch Craignish was a crossroads for prehistoric settlers between Ireland and the Great Glen.[2] A stone pier on the south of the peninsula was used by drovers from Jura and Knapdale.
