Overview

For kayaking, picnicking, wildlife watching, and a relaxed stroll beside the Nature Trail, Lodi Lake Park is one of Lodi’s favorite outdoor destinations.

Set along the Mokelumne River, Lodi Lake Park welcomes families, casual adventurers, and anyone who wants to enjoy time near the water. Visitors can kayak, paddleboard, fish, swim seasonally, picnic, observe wildlife, and reach the Lodi Nature Trail. The park works equally well for a short visit or an unhurried half-day outdoors.
