RE: Bob, I believe the Loch is the drinking water supply for many people, and there are usually rules about swimming in the drinking water.
Claire:
I wonder if Loch Lomond allows stand up paddle boarding...anybody know?
Chuck Hanson:
Can I fish year round?
Bob:
Nice lake in the Santa Cruz Mountains, great place for canoeing. No swimming allowed though, what's up with that?

This place rocks, just explore all the cool things to do near Loch Lomond. If time allows, Juan Bautista De Anza National Historic Trail is a national park worth a visit. Go for a hike on the Summit Trail; Loch Lomond is perfect enough to spend more than a day at, River Grove Park is a perfect local campground. San Lorenzo River has a great whitewater paddling spot nearby, and great hiking is available along the Sequoia Nature Trail.
This lake is so wonderful.

So many fun things to do at Loch Lomond, so little time. In the event that you don’t have a problem getting drenched, you can always go whitewater paddling on San Lorenzo River.

site for that.
Loch Lomond commonly gets a good deal of rain; the month of January is the wettest with most of the rain, and the driest of the months is July. So many exciting things to do here in the Santa Cruz Mountains, too
tremendous to be true. From Loch Lomond you get a great sight of Eagle Dell Peak; going for a hike on the Rincon Fire Road Trail is always a magnificent adventure. Man, is there a load of fun stuff to do in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
Lake Lompico is a nearby lake that you could take a look at, and you'll meet a lot of folks from Santa Cruz-Watsonville here.

...oilet paper and other debris stuck in the willows by high water. Just below the road into Henry Cowell there is an inflatable dam that could cause problems for rafters if it happens to be up when you go over. I don't know how high it inflates; not very, I think. After passing under the steel RR bridge (used by the tourist train from Roaring Camp to the Boardwalk), the river drops into a very scenic canyon with a good section of class III+ whitewater and one hole that flipped our standard-floor raft, in the granite gorge before the Rincon, where the river bends to the left to go around a hogsback ridge. The Rincon (Spanish for bend in the river), a pretty place to pull out for a picnic and some hiking, is part of Henry Cowell State Park and is the last chance to exit easily on public property before Santa Cruz. An old road goes up to a large parking area on Hwy 9 here.
Approach ing the Rincon the river spreads out and may be too shallow to float; we had to walk a short distance. Also, at the remains of a concrete diversion dam, teh river splits into two channels. The left-most i... |
