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 it's a fun fishing spot and great place for walks and bike riding. Well kept but that's kind of expected with a parking fee. $5 a car is worth it though. Will be back for picnic or something for sure.

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.

Such a nice place for a walk--either with your family or just alone. The nature walk is very nice. Well kept park.

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

It's a nice e place. The park portion in the front is typically busy. You can rent kayaks at the Boat House that's run by Headwaters kayak shop. The nature area is okay, nice place to walk and no homeless seen which is an added plus compared to the American River Trail in Sacramento.

Went to a memorial at the Youth Activity Area by boat launch. Wasn't even aware this place was there. Definitely a hidden gem that's 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.

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 I've never tried it.

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.

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

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 you're out there!

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 kayaker's paradise.

Beautiful! Nice, exciting, relaxing walk on one of the many trails. My Grandbabies loved it! Can't wait to go again.

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

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 (they're harmless but of course don't agitate them). As you walk along the path you'll even find bits of information about some of the critters living there like frogs or what type of plants are there!

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!

My favorite part is the nature trail. It very shady there's 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 there's not covid-19 restrictions.

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