Always a nice hike.Out to the river and around. Walked with my daughter,grandkids AND MY MOM(age 96) around the exercise loop. It was beautiful and no trouble walking cause its wide and relatively flat.

This is a great community park. Fun things for everyone. Some facilities are closed right now, but picnic areas, nature trail and water access is open. The lake is perfect for stand up paddle boards and kayaks. Clean restrooms and plenty of parking. There is a small access fee.

Not large, but we were visiting from out of town and were looking for some nature, which is hard to find in Stockton / Lodi. Very nice park. Dirt trails are very smooth, good for most bikes.

A really nice place to go and have a picnic it is also dog friendly! I had a picnic with my family and dogs and we had a really great time. If you bring your dogs remember to clean up after them they do not provide bags so you would have to bring them yourself.

The lake is an absolute beauty. Very quiet, and dogs are runing around, children are playing... An excellent place to chill or go on a walk.

I am lucky enough to live in Lodi and my favorite place to go in this city is Lodi lake it is one of the most gorgeous recreational parks for a small City that you have ever been to it is banked by the mccollumee river which is a tribute to the lake it has hiking trails filled with deer and the park itself is extremely well maintained, it has a boat ramp and a kayak rental agency and the geese alone would be a great reason to visit the lake

Nice place fairly clean. At sun down it gets crazy busy as everyone gets there boats and family out. Felt safe with little ones walking about

Lodi Lake jas more wildlife than one might think. Turtles can be spoted, small (3 to 6 inch) fish and frogs are visable around the walled banks, cranes and egrets hang out, and squirrels argue in the trees with little chirpy barks. Many species of birds are abound in the nature area along the riparian zone of the backside river and wooded trails. Mornings are best for a more solitude experience. At the north side of the lake there is a dog area. There is a boat launch anda sepratearea for kayak launching. The south side, left of the entrance, has a swim/beach area with a kiddie water play zone. Trees give a lot of shade. Picnic areas are throughout the park. There is two playgrounds. There o6s a couple large group covered event areas for big partys.

Quiet serene lots of wild life. Plenty of tables and lots of room. Nice place for a walk or picnic lunch

Park open from dawn until dusk. Fee to enter unless you walk in. Picnic areas available to rent through the parks dept, all others first come first serve. Dog friendly grass area (not fenced). Nature trail for walking or biking. Boat launch. Fishing year round from dam to 99 (check regulations). Great place for kayaks and paddle boards, jet skis, boats. I wouldnt recommend wakeboarding but light tubing would probably be ok. Lots of sand bars and downed trees underwater but river is dredged every few years or so. Great place for families and gatherings of any size.

Great place nice trails friendly wildlife .

I had came to this lake because the kayaking. Very beautiful place! Very clean, relaxing and good for ppl that want to bring there kids or family and walk there dog. HOWEVER since they allow jet skies it took away a chance of 5 stars! If your a kayaker which what they advertise here and even have rentals, think again!The delta is so close but yet people feel they should bring jet skis and ride around 40+ miles hr and cause you to almost flip your kayak.Then when it was time to go we had an issue loading the kayak. When they close up they close up!A lady that worked for the parks dept actually came up to us in her marked car and saw us STRUGGLING and said how much longer the park closes at dusk! We explained and visually obvious.. we said 20 minutes.. she couldnt wait 20 minutes and for us to drive out and then secure our kayaks. That is a busy road out there!She acted like we where teens hiding and party. She literally followed us to the gate to make sure we left. Boy she wanted get home to her late night tv program!So, great place if you want to walk and bbq other wise jet skis will ruin the experience along w the night lady if your having trouble loading up your vehicle!

Beautiful park and has a great boat ramp in the front designed for kayaks and the staff is amazingly helpful getting your kayaks in and out.The roads inside are starting to break down and are popped up from tree roots making it difficult for young ones on bikes. They have a wilderness walk area that is half paved and half dirt. You can truly connect with nature and see wild deer and other animals. Truly a beautiful place right on the river.

Calm water and beautiful views for kayaking. Go round back to the right and when you see the split, make another right. You wont regret it!

Short but beautiful trail. So many beautiful trees and lots of nature totally making you feel like you are in the wilderness. We were even fortunate to see a group of deer right up close. Its not a long trail but you can always double it like what we did. We are planning on coming back. Such a beautiful trail. Highly recommend it.

Lodi Lake is a beloved hotspot for locals. With lots of nature and recreation, the lake is the perfect place to spend a day off.

Early morning is best IMO ... walk quietly down the trail and likely you will be greeted by many deer ... dont spook em so everyone can enjoy !!

Lodi lake in November 2020 great place to go for a walk with family and friends and the kids love this place.

It was beautiful and very serene. I enjoy the walk along the trails.

Beautiful place for family and friends. Color of fall are incredibly good.

This is a beautiful place to take a walk or just sit and look at mother nature.

I would spend summertime with my family and this was one of my favorite memories, going to the lake and swimming.

Absolutely gorgeous with a ton of things to do (ie: beach area, little trails, boat launch, etc.). Would definitely recommend for getting a bit of fresh air! Just make sure you watch out for any wildlife of course. I often saw deer, squirrels (tons of them!), and even little snakes (theyre harmless but of course dont agitate them). As you walk along the path youll even find bits of information about some of the critters living there like frogs or what type of plants are there!

My favorite part is the nature trail. It very shady theres a short way or the long way around by the river. There are squirrels, dear, and small red fox. Plenty of water to jet ski, canoe, float, swim. Nice grass area tables benches bathrooms. Playground for kid when theres not covid-19 restrictions.

I am sorry, but this is what we call a nice park here in this area..? I cant seem to find a park with decently clean water, that doesnt stink, where theres no trash... so disappointing. Terrible, all of them.

Wonderful! I love watching the baby deers, all of the other wildlife and scenery!!! Plus, I get over a mile of walking!

Clean and beautiful lake. Love the nature trail

Went kayaking solo. It was nice. I hate that the city is bustling around the lake because it takes away from the serenity of it all, but overall it was peaceful. Park and lake was clean and free of trash.Prices are decent for kayaks and stand up paddle boards. They are doing their part as far as keeping things sanitary during the pandemic. So kudos to the kayak shop there!

I went not long ago and was pleasantly surprised. It was nice, there wasnt a paved trail all around but its still nice. There is some type of pavement like a parking lot /side walk around a big part of the lake though.

Its really nice great place to go for a walk.

Lodi Lake is the gem of the community. Well maintained. Lots of picnic space, swimming beach area, boat ramp for small craft, Mokelumne River on its northern edge. A kayakers paradise.

This is a great spot for water recreation right here in Lodi. A perfect place to put in your kayak and paddle up or down the river, and nice for a swim during the summer too. Also has some good trails to hike along the river.

Pretty chill, clean, nice activity, good location for families, recommend if your in the area.

Great place to take a walk and ride bikes. July 4th, usually there are fire works at night for the community. You can also go fishing here but Ive never tried it.

A quiet and peaceful place to enjoy the scenery and outdoors. Love taking my kiddos there.

Great place to visit with a nice bike trail in the back that can easily be walked as well. Offers some great views and a nice place to have a picnic even.

What a great place to enjoy the outdoors fish do some boating hiking or just lay out and enjoy the sun

90% of people were not wearing masks and pretty crowded

My fiancee and I just took our engagement photos here. Great place for it too. Tons of different spots for great pictures. I could see from others that its a fun fishing spot and great place for walks and bike riding. Well kept but thats kind of expected with a parking fee. $5 a car is worth it though. Will be back for picnic or something for sure.

Its a nice place for family picnics, fishing, kayaking, perfect for people who likes walking outdoors.

There is nice place to visit, but it requires some improvements. Not so clean, and curbs looks like need to be updated.

Nice...relaxing.....friendly people.....enjoyed reading my book in front of the lake

Love this place clean restrooms clear clean water easy access in and out of the water with kayaks and paddle boards plenty of parking

I like the place overall but my hubby did not like the fishing did not catch anything all day but its pretty big and has parking pretty close to the water

We had so much fun here! It was beautiful! We rented a kayak and made a fun trip around the lake! My girls had a blast!

Very beautiful lake to meditation BBQ drink some cold beers kayak boating relax enjoy the walk 3.2 miles on the route peacfull environment

Nice day at the lake. Everyone was very respectful of space.

Nice family place with water activities, picnic areas, and nature walks. Free to Lodi residents and $5 for everyone else. Well maintained.

Its a great place to kick back and relax and rent a kayak from the boathouse.

Great place to hike. Lots of wildlife. Lots of turtles

We love coming here for family functions, gatherings or just have a picnic. We like to bring our paddle boards and kayaks as well and make it a day of fun and relaxation. We are lucky its close to us!

Went to a memorial at the Youth Activity Area by boat launch. Wasnt even aware this place was there. Definitely a hidden gem thats available to rent. There was a large wooden gazebo style covered area with i think 8(poss.12) picnic tables underneath. Large enough to keep us all dry during the occasional shower. There was even a nice cooking area with built-in charcoal grill & large stainless steel table. Even a grassy area for kids to play. Would be perfect for any gathering of friends or family.

Beautiful area to visit and the hiking paths were stroller friendly.

Great place to walk and access river fir kayaking.

Lovely place i really enjoyed my first visit to this place will recommend others

Awsome..lodi lake is so soothing to the mind

Very nice place to take your family and if you have a dog nice little outing. Just wish the regulations were lifted so you can do a lot more.

They need to come out of the hateful days. Cant belive it almost let that bother me.

Love Lodi Lake!! Such a great spot to spend the day with the family or even to take a walk alone. Tons of kayakers, boaters, and fisherman. Feels like one big Lodi family while youre out there!

Really nice for pictures. My dogs loved it. Some times you can find a rope swing that swings above the water. The deers there are not a scared of people I got like 2 ft away from one deer and saw a lot of baby deers.

Beautiful place for relaxing, quiet and has lots of spot for BBQ.

Paid just 5 bucks to park free entrance today really sweet spot for the kids and relaxing for adults kayaking available I think paddle boats and a separate mini kiddy pool for the little ones! Mini beach getaway

This is a great spot to enjoy kayaking on smooth water. Lots of spots to search for turtles and fish- just enjoy from a distance!

Lovely autumn walk

Berry beautiful place to take pictures.

Beautiful! Nice, exciting, relaxing walk on one of the many trails. My Grandbabies loved it! Cant wait to go again.

Kinda busy, but relaxed atmosphere. Good place to visit.

Enjoying the trails and beautiful Cali...all the way from Texas

Lodi is the only place to access river these days it is and always has been a great place for all kinds of water activity. Green grass .old trees for shade . access to the river .personel are great .ONLY ONE PROBLEM THE PARKING LOTS AND ROADWAY SUCK SO ROUGH THEY BEAT THE HELL OUT OF TOUR CAR OR TRUCKS SUSPENSION. It needs Repaved badly .its even hard for foot traffic the uneven parts at least .my opinion.

Awesome like nature trail parking is limited by you can park on the street and walk in.

Very family friendly park atmosphere.

Very nice place to chill or take a walk. I saw people canoeing and fishing during my visit.

A very nice place to take my FAMILY and BE SAVE..thank you..2nd time i seen in the water a tilapia but more like a piranha it look scary....

It was decent. Not much to do and pretty small

Absolutely it is mind refreshing recreation place. I have been there with family and we enjoyed lots. We are passing through COVID 19 depressing time, visiting such a place is remedy. Blesses...

What a beautiful peaceful place to walk.

Cool lake with a boat launch for private boats and rental launch. Nice river areas to explore.

Great place for a swim on a hot day! Took a walk with the pup and hung out near the beach during the heat wave

Went Kayaking, walked nature trail, swimming. Great place to hang out and many things to do

Some advice to money collectors at front entrance; when processing $13 launch fee from customers it would be extremely helpful and most appreciated to know that the bathrooms back at boat launch area are closed. This would save an unnecessary trip towing the boat back through the narrow road of the park to use bathroom at the front entrance that we had already passed on the way back to the boat launch

It was nice to see families out practicing their 6ft. You can fish, boat, and water play without going to far out of town.

My family and I love to walk here and see the families of deer roaming in the forest. Serene, colorful, and absolutely beautiful setting. You can even see some beautiful views of nearby wineries from the riverbank

Cool play Tony pizza amazing

Great location and friendly people!

Nice spot, plenty of nooks and crannies for picnics and relaxing, but watch out for all the jet skis!

Not as crowded as I thought it would be. Plenty of shade. Wish they had a concession stand

Nice area calm quiet cheap to get in however the fish were not biting perhaps thats due to all the jet skis

Took the long way around the wilderness trail came across a red tail fox on the hunt and then later came across a young buck deer. Lots of birds and butterflies a lovely brisk morning walk.

Is nice to walk also you can bbq

I just recently discovered the nature area and its amazing! There are deer everywhere!

Superb nice peaceful area at times busy but mostly perfect. Extra clean nice folks lot of kyacks beautiful area extreamly enjoyable

Great walking trails, friendly people. Saw several deer, lots of birds and squirrels, beautiful flowers, and very relaxing views of the water. Found a painted rock (and re-hid for someone else to find later).

Great park, lake and river access

Love this lake, come here all the time, lot of things to do, also very clean, love it.

Great place for family outings and to take out the kayak or paddle board. Alot of jet skis and boaters so be careful. Fishing is ok for bass and gill alot of carp also but are a little more difficult to catch.

Safe,nice place to take a walk,boating,fishing areas

Same old lodi lake still fun with the nature walk

This place is a must visit for a full day picnic. Nice gentle hike, boating & fishing.

All visitors I saw were wearing masks and/or social distancing or in obvious family groups. Fun in the sun.

Beautiful lake in the middle of town. Fishing, boating, park for kids, awesome nature walk with interesting facts throughout about the natural trees and foliage. Includes a small redwood grove that was donated to the park which I thought was awesome.
