The Loch and its cascades
Central Park Conservancy locates the Loch mid-park near 102nd Street, within the Ravine. Its designers widened and dammed an existing stream and added bridges and cascades. Glen Span Arch and Huddlestone Arch mark the two ends of the Ravine.
Use the Conservancy’s park map to choose an entrance and walking route. A waterfall-specific walking distance, legal parking place and step-free approach have not been verified for this listing.
