Comments: Lochness Lake is a peaceful little lake with a walking path surrounding it and a fishing pier. It is stocked regularly with bluegill and black crappie and occasionally gets stocked with catchable size northern pike. The lake can become heavily vegetated in mid-summer, and water level is currently low which can make shorefishing more difficult.
