Union Valley Reservoir

Lake

👍👍 I'll start with a trick of the trade. After turning up icehouse road off hwy 50, on yer way up the hill there's a U.S. Forest information center. They have free maps of the entire area. Also, they usually have up to date info on which campgrounds have availability (if you don't have a reserved site)...

Lodi Lake

Lake

👍👍 One of the highlights of the Lodi area. I have been coming here since I was a little kid. It’s the perfect place to watch the sunset, go swimming in the summer and watch the 4th of July fireworks.

San Pablo Reservoir

Lake

😠 I loved this place a for the past few years. I had a season parking and boat launch pass and the attendants were excellent. I looked forward to the weekend, to relax and fish.

Woodward Reservoir
