Westgate landing boat docks on the beautiful Delta waterways.

Boating and Camping

Boating

Westgate Landing ParkBoating access to the beautiful Delta waterways is available through three of our regional parks. Dos Reis Regional Park, located alongside the San Joaquin River, offers a floating dock with boat launching capabilities. Westgate Landing Regional Park, located on the Mokelumne River, has overnight boat docking and a fishing pier. Boat docking at Westgate is $15 per slip per night. Each park offers R.V. and tent camping.

At Mossdale Crossing Regional Park, a large, two-lane boat ramp with floating dock gives access to the San Joaquin, Middle and Old Rivers. 

Fishing

Oak Grove FishingA number of fishing areas are available in San Joaquin County regional parks. At Oak Grove Regional Park, a 10-acre lake is stocked annually with seasonal Catfish and Trout. We offer three  fishing derbies, The Fishing Derby For Kids (1st Sat. in June), the Trout Bout (third Sat. in Nov.) and the Bob McMillen Memorial Fishing Tournament (1st Sat. in Feb.) - each offering opportunities for anglers to experience fishing, some for the very first time. Fishing at Oak Grove is $3 for those 16 years and older - a valid California fishing license is required since all Dept. of Fish and Game regulations apply. 

At Dos Reis Regional Park, fishing access to the San Joaquin River is available via the park's floating dock and boat launching capabilities. The San Joaquin can also be reached from Mossdale Crossing Regional Park, which has a large, two-lane boat ramp with floating dock.

Westgate Landing Regional Park, one of three parks located on the Mokelumne River, has overnight boat docking and a fishing pier, while Stillman L. Magee Regional Park features fishing at the river's edge and Woodbridge Regional Park offers a riparian environment where fishing enthusiasts snag Trout, Black Bass and Catfish (California Dept. of Fish and Game regulations apply).
