Docents at Lakeside in Spring





- On April 27th, a docents field trip saw dozens of Haggin Museum docents travel to Lodi Lake to walk in the Nature Area, see the Visitor Center and ride a pontoon boat out to the Mokelumne River confluence and back. Our exploration uncovered the under-appreciated nature walking areas, springtime vegetation and wildlife that inhabits this preserve. The nature trail offers surprising views around every bend in the trail, including majestic oaks, turtles sunning themselves on a log, swooping birds and tantalizing fishing spots. The croaking of frogs is heard everywhere. It is an ideal place for family picnics that can include these activities and boat rentals as well. Well appointed picnic pavilions are available for reservation to allow barbecuing and eating by the lakeside views. Take the excursion sometime!
