One of the reasons why Lompico is such a great place
to live is that you're surrounded by a wealth of state
and local parks, creeks, rivers, lakes and relaxing
back roads just waiting to be explored. So, lace up
those hiking boots, running shoes or biking gear, grab
a picnic lunch, your favorite pal and get outdoors.
Most people rave about living in Lompico because of
how wonderful it is to be surrounded by such a beautiful
setting. Where else can you walk out your door and go
for a run or bike ride to your local lake (Loch Lomond
Lake) or along a peaceful creek (Lompico Creek), while
enjoying the spectacular views and abundance of wildlife
a 100 year old redwood forest provides.
