Loch Lomond Vernal Pool Ecological Reserve, Protected area in Lake County, California.
The Loch Lomond Vernal Pool Ecological Reserve spans 13 acres at 2,800 feet elevation in the Mayacmas Mountains, featuring seasonal wetland pools.
The California Department of Fish and Game acquired this land in 1988 for $46,000 and established it as an ecological reserve to protect endangered plant species.
The location served as a community recreation area for baseball games and horseback riding until the Loch Lomond Lodge fire in 1967.
Visitors can observe wildflowers and wildlife, but must follow Department regulations and obtain special permits for drone usage at this unfacilitated reserve.
The reserve protects the rare Loch Lomond button celery, first collected in 1941 and named after botanist Lincoln Constance who studied it in 1973.
