SUMMARY:Guided Walking Tour #2  Lodi Lake: Aunt Estella Spills the Beans
DESCRIPTION:Hello – we look forward to meeting you! It’s our pleasure to introduce you to the exciting history of “livable\, lovable Lodi.” \nLodi Lake: ​Aunt Estella Spills the Beans is a costumed re-enactment followed by guided walking tour. You’ll see Lodi Lake\, the Mokelumne River\, and the Nature Area. The costumed docent will take you back in time to when the Mokelumne River flowed freely to the Pacific\, and you’ll learn how the land changed once the Woodbridge Dam was built. Pioneer “Estella Smith” will share the ups and downs of single-handedly managing her vineyard\, almond orchard\, and livestock and the effect General Mills and busy Lodi had on her long life. After the re-enactment you’ll take an easy walk around part of the Nature Area to understand how this special environment thrived in days past. \nIf you need accessibility accommodations\, please email Tours@ExploreLodi.org at the time of booking. \nMeeting Place: Meet inside beautiful Lodi Lake Park. Walk inside the Nature Area gate and take a seat in the redwood amphitheater. Sorry\, no dogs in the Nature Area. \nParking: Park free in a nearby neighborhood and walk at no cost over the low levee into Lodi Lake Park. Or pay to park your car inside Lodi Lake Park at the Nature Area or the playground. Note that for cars the entry kiosk at Lodi Lake on weekends can be busy\, so allow extra time. https://www.lodi.gov/348/Lodi-Lake \nTour Length: 1 hour\, around a half-mile\, mostly level packed dirt and pavement. \nDescription: A 15-minute costumed re-enactment of farmer Estella Smith\, owner of Lodi Lake 1902-1937\, followed by a 45-minute guided tour of the Nature Area “through pioneer eyes.” \nTips: Wear appropriate clothing and sunscreen\, bring water and bug spray. \nNote: Explore Lodi tours take place in public buildings\, public streets\, and walking trails. Tour participants will be required to sign a waiver before the tour begins. Every attendee assumes their own responsibility for navigating features such as uneven surfaces\, traffic\, wildlife\, and interactions with other members of the public. \nFAQs FOR GUIDED TOURS: \nWhen will I definitely be booked for the tour? \nNot until you re-confirm close to the tour date. You’ll receive an email near the tour date and must respond affirmatively 24-48 hours before the free tour to re-confirm that you will be at the meeting place and ready to go at the agreed-upon time. \nAre the guided tours really free? \nYes\, though donations are welcomed: https://givebutter.com/explore-lodi \nWhat do I need to know about the meeting place? \nFrom the entry kiosk at Lodi Lake\, turn right. Pass the playground on your right. Turn right at the next opportunity into the Nature Area parking lot. Restrooms are available at that parking lot. Walk into the Nature Area\, past the Native Plant Garden\, and down the slope on your left. The amphitheater will be 50 steps away\, surrounded by redwood trees. \nWhat happens if the weather doesn’t cooperate? \nPlease check this website for “Hourly Weather in Lodi\, CA” 24 hours before the tour. If the tour start time’s chance of rain is predicted to be 50% or greater\, the tour will likely be cancelled. You can confirm weather-related tour status by emailing Tours@ExploreLodi.org.
