Loch Lomond

Loch Lomond is a high-altitude dispersed camping area (11,200 ft elevation) in the Arapaho National Forest accessible via a challenging 4-wheel drive road requiring high-clearance vehicles, with ample free camping spots around the alpine lake and multiple hiking trails to nearby lakes and peaks.

The area is closed seasonally (upper gate 10/15-7/15, lower gate 12/1-6/1) with no amenities like water or restrooms available, making it ideal for self-sufficient backcountry enthusiasts seeking solitude and fishing opportunities.

Access is via Steuart Road (NFSR 701) off Fall River Road near Idaho Springs, with parking prohibited on Fall River Road and within nearby subdivisions.
