Loch Bà is one of two primary lochs that sit in Rannoch Moor, lying south-west of [[Loch Beinn a' Mheadhoin]]. Both lochs are served by the [[River Affric]]. A number of smaller lochs surround [[Loch Affric]]. At the southwestern end sits [[Loch Coulavie]] located at the base [[An Tudair Beag]] and a slightly higher elevation. Also at the south-western end, the River Affric flows into the tiny loch of [[Loch Na Camaig]]. At the northeastern side, both the lochs [[Loch-Pollan Fearne]] and [[Garbe-Uisage]] drain into Loch Affric.
To the north of the loch, stands a [[Munro]] peak, [[Sgurr na Lapaich]] which climbs to 3,773 feet, while to the south is a 'Marilyn', [[Aonach Shasuinn]] at 2,913 feet.
