There's a good watersports centre over the hill on Loch Tay at Kenmore. (Crannog centre I think its called). Also lots of nice walks in the forestry above it on Drummond Hill.
The views form the south side of Loch Tay back towards Killin are stunning.
The oldest tree in the UK (poss Europe) is in Fortingal near to Kenmore on the other side of Drummond Hill.
Further west you've got as already said Tyndrum, and beyond Rannoch Moor, Glen Coe etc. Your about 45 mins to Tyndrum then another 50 min to Glen Coe or Oban.
Cruachan Power Station on Loch Awe side is worth a visit (about 25 mins from Tyndrum)
Enjoy God's own country!

Although not very long, one of my favourite roads is the A819 from Dalmally (A85) down to Inverary - sad though it is, I've been known to drive it in both directions, just for the sheer joy of it. For lovers of the uisge beatha, there is a fantastic shop on the main street of Inverary, named after the loch upon which it gazes.
Kind regards
