City Chic Gems by Deena Chalon'

May 21, 2022

Very nice park and views were wonderful. I took my grandaughter when I visited up north for the day, but was disappointed that the beach part wasn't open. My grandaughter really wanted to put her feet in the sand. Lots of pretty green grass for children and dogs to run and play, however not enough playground options for young toddlers (other than the 1 slide) There were also canoes and paddleboats but a little pricey for 1 hr. Maybe next time we will experience that there. Very picturesque though, took amazing photos which will be lasting memories for us. I'd go again.

This is a good hike for beginners and children especially. There are always deer every time I go there about 13 of them to be exact. I like the water front as well, it's beautiful.

Beautiful area tucked away. Perfect for kayaking or a stroll with the family.

I found a spot away from everyone; it was so nice music playing. I made a cold vegan cheese and turkey sandwich. it reminded me of having a picnic when I was younger and bought back some great times.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

You can make a reservation for certain specific areas there. Some of the areas are by reservation and some of the areas are not. Me and my people went there last Saturday and it was reserved but we had to reserve from 10:00 to 2:00 or 2:00 to 6:00. But like I said there's other picnic areas that don't have to be reserved at all. I sure would call well in advance if I were you and get the information from the horse's mouth... If you really want to get that table for the 4th!

When do they close the lake for the season

Denise Pavlakis | Feb 2, 2019
Phill n Gina “PnG” Munoz | Feb 3, 2019

The lake is still drained just before the winter rain and then when they get ready for the next season the lake dam is reopened to which the snow water that runs in the mokelumne river fills the man made lake of Lodi. The fishing for most is not good eating but rather fun for the catch and release type Fisher.
