Lochloosa is a lakeside community where early mornings bring mist over cypress knees and anglers ease skiffs onto glassy water. Life here leans into the outdoors, with Lochloosa Lake famous for bass, crappie, and wide-open horizons for paddlers and birders. Just minutes away, literary Florida comes to life at the preserved homestead of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings at the Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Historic State Park, and prairie vistas, bison, and miles of trails await at Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park.
Families value the small-community feel and access to county resources. Students are served by Alachua County Public Schools, with upper grades attending Hawthorne Middle/High School. Day-to-day needs are supported by the Alachua County government, while gardeners, hobby farmers, and backyard beekeepers tap the practical know-how of UF/IFAS Extension Alachua County for workshops, soil testing, and seasonal advice. For broader context and services, Lochloosa sits within Alachua County, offering a straightforward path to permitting, parks, and public safety.
Homes range from rustic lake cottages and angler-ready retreats to wooded acreage that keeps the night skies dark and the stars bright. Whether you’re dreaming of a dock and a jon boat or a quiet parcel with room for a garden, Lochloosa delivers room to breathe without losing touch with culture, trails, and schools.
