It’s too bad the Mokelumne River is identified as an underutilized recreational resource with little public access. The reason for that, according to the City of Lodi General Plan Background report, is the majority of land along this waterway in the Lodi area – Lodi Lake, specifically – to Camanche Dam is privately owned and, thus, prohibits trespassing. Yet the Mokelumne River has great spots for fishing, rafting, tubing, canoeing and conducting nature studies.
