The largest of the lochs

Middle Loch Leven Lake

Middle Loch Leven Lake is the largest loch of the Loch Leven Lakes in California's Tahoe National Forest. The hiking distance from the trailhead at Hampshire Rocks Road is 2.8 miles. It takes about another mile to get to the High Loch Leven Lake. The lochs are surrounded by forest, shrubs and granite rocks. My favorite lakes for swimming on a hot summer day are the middle and upper lochs, on the banks of which you can find spots from where you may want to slide down a granite slope or carefully dive into a refreshing, deep pocket of clear blue or greenish blue water.
