The great thing about paddling at Loch
Lomond is that it offers top-tier sights
while paddling. Loch Lomond is the best kept
secret in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Its
smooth waters make ideal for novice paddlers
if they haven’t mastered the art of getting
in and out of their kayak. Whether you enjoy
gliding out over open water or paddling
trolling for trout, you will enjoy a fun
excursion even if you are new to kayaking.
Fishing is a main attraction at Loch Lomond.
The lake is stocked with trout, bluegills
and largemouth bass. Other species of fish
include redear, channel catfish, green
sunfish and rainbow trout.
The recreation area offers picnic tables, a
children’s playground, a nature center,
interpretive walks with rangers and a store
where you can rent an electric or rowboat,
as well as bait, tackle, fishing licenses,
hot and cold drinks, and snacks.
Due
to the concern regarding contamination of
the reservoir with quagga mussels, private
boat launching will be restricted to allow
only boats that are stored in the Loch
Lomond Recreation Area. Space is limited to
about 100 boats.
