Tour Overview
This probably isn’t your first visit to the Lodi Lake Nature Area. However, few know how important it is both as an ecosystem and as one of the few remnants of habitat that used to exist all along the Mokelumne River.
Take a walk with us through this beautiful area and learn about the many species that call it home and how efforts over time to protect it have left it here for everyone in the City of Lodi to use and love.
