Loch Lomond Lake is an ideal location for mountain biking or a hiking adventure to four high mountain lakes nestled next to the Continental Divide. The lakes are located north of Interstate 70 between Idaho Springs and Dumont. The elevation at the lakes is 11,200\', and there are some wonderful views. How to Get There: Two miles west of Idaho Springs take exit 238, also known as Fall River Road (CR275). This road takes you to St. Mary’s Lodge, the town sites of Alice and Ninetyfour, and of course Loch Lomond. Drive northwest, at 6.5 miles you will pass the Fall River Reservoir Road (FSR174) is on your left. Continue on the main road for another 1.5 miles, you will come to the town site of Alice. On the west side of the road just before Alice, there is a lesser road heading west, this is the road to Loch Lomond. This road quickly turns into a 4-wheel drive road; go as far as you can and park. Follow the road, staying to your left; there will be several roads heading off to the right and up the hill to the north. There are several old mines along the road and up on the hillside. Please observe and respect the posted property. The correct road will circle the large hill to the north and become steeper. The road to Loch Lomond is about 4.25 miles one-way. If you are on a mountain bike it’s a great downhill ride returning to your car.
