According to Wiki......

a loch is a body of water which is either a lake or a sea inlet which may be also a firth, fjord, estuary, strait or bay.

Now I am confused.

From Wikepedia
It is connected at the southern end by the River Oich and a section of the Caledonian Canal to Loch Oich. At the northern end there is the Bona Narrows which opens out into Loch Dochfour, which feeds the River Ness and a further section of canal to Inverness. It is one of a series of interconnected, murky bodies of water in Scotland; its water visibility is exceptionally low due to a high peat content in the surrounding soil.

It is this interconnecting bodies of water and the peat content  that allows Nessie to hide from tourists
