    This is a rustic and quiet place within Central Park that is mostly known to and visited by locals. Walking around, it’s easy to forget that the bustling city streets are just a short distance away. I highly recommend this place to those looking for alternative destinations within Central Park.

    The hidden gem - walked the footpath and saw this beautiful waterfall. There were birds chirping and pretty flowers. So natural, peaceful and relaxing.

    The waterfalls provide an escape from the noises of police sirens and car honking for visitors, replacing it with the soothing sounds of birds chirping and flowing water. What the waterfall does it allows you to enjoy the beauty of the people and the city around you.

    A nice path along the little stream with quite a few spots to get down by the water. It's been recent redone and is very nice.

    Beautiful area of Central Park. It's a small stream with paths on either side. The path to the west is uphill and a little further from the steam. The path to the east is at a similar level with little short little finger paths and a boardwalk that being you right to the steam. At the northern end, there's a waterfall and a path that crosses the stream before it continues under the Park Drive towards the Lasker Rink and Pool. It's a quiet, pleasant wooded area of the Park where you can often see birds.

    Beautiful location with some wildlife. One of the best spots to hang out in the park, though it's always busy.

    A beautiful section of Central Park that’s a little more secluded and quiet. Great for relaxing near the Pool or walking one of the forest trails.

    I recently visited The Loch and was impressed by the peaceful atmosphere and natural beauty. The small waterfalls scattered throughout the area added a nice touch and made for a very serene environment. I found it to be a great spot to relax and take in the natural surroundings. It's a great spot for a picnic, hiking or just to take a stroll. The peace and quiet was great, perfect to unwind and disconnect from the world. I highly recommend a visit to The Loch, it's a must-see if you're looking for a peaceful and natural setting.

    Great spot to forget you’re in the city, without having to go upstate.. until you hear the occasional sirens in the background, but I’d still take it for the convenience.

  • 5/5 Anelly H. 9 months ago on Google
    If you want to get away and just be one with nature, this is a must visit.
