Paddling at Loch Lomond offers breathtaking scenery, making it a top-tier destination. The lake's smooth waters are ideal for novice paddlers, even those new to kayaking. Whether you enjoy gliding over open water or trolling for trout, you're sure to have a fun and memorable excursion.

Fishing is a major draw at Loch Lomond, which is stocked with a variety of species including trout, bluegill, largemouth bass, redear, channel catfish, green sunfish, and rainbow trout.

The recreation area provides ample amenities, from picnic tables and a children's playground to a nature center and interpretive walks led by rangers. Visitors can also rent electric or rowboats, purchase bait and tackle, fishing licenses, and refreshments at the on-site store.

Camping is offered at Smithwoods RV Park, situated at 4770 Highway 9 in Felton. While the park is adjacent to the San Lorenzo River, it does not have direct access to the water. It is equipped to host various types of RVs.

Due to concerns over quagga mussel contamination, private boat launching will be restricted to only those vessels stored at the Loch Lomond Recreation Area. Space is limited to approximately 100 boats.
