Outdoor Recreation and Attractions
Water has always played a vital role in Lodi. It also plays an instrumental role as a source for fun and escape. Kayaking, pedal boating, swimming and fishing keep visitors and locals alike refreshed and laughing. For their day’s adventures, many visitors congregate on the shores of Lodi Lake, named by Sunset magazine as “one of the great inland beaches.”
Just outside the city limits, from September through early March, birders heed the call to watch the Greater and Lesser Sandhill Cranes make their annual migratory fly-in at the Sandhill Crane Reserve. Spying on a bird 5 feet tall and sporting a 7-foot wingspan is nothing short of breathtaking.
If you are looking for family adventure, Lodi has something entertaining for every member of the family. The Micke Grove County Park is a destination unto itself. Visitors can explore the Micke Grove Zoo, sit in the shade of the Japanese Garden’s cherry blossom trees, or laugh and play together at Funderwoods Amusement Park. At the San Joaquin Historical Museum, visitors can learn about the history of the region, take in the antique tractor exhibit, visit the San Joaquin County Schoolhouse and tour the bang and clang of the blacksmith shop.
Children and parents alike will enjoy a visit to the Serpentarium and the World of Wonders Science Museum, where education is fun and abundant. Bring your curiosity and a desire to discover, and you’ll see that wine is only a part of Lodi’s charm.
