Wow going out with Dan and his headwaters crew was a amazing experience. You launch from Lodi lake and after a short talk by Dan on safety and paddling we made our way up the Mokelumne. We saw tons of birds,... read more turtles sunning, and beautiful vineyards as paddled up stream. This is a great activity for small groups and families.

Great Service! I have to compliment the staff at the Lodi Lake Boathouse for managing my crew so efficiently. We arrived without a reservation and they were slammed.

Moonlight Paddle The staff is always so friendly, so helpful and great people to paddle with on such a gorgeous evening!

Great way to spend a hot summer evening. It was surprisingly cool and peaceful on the lake on a 100 plus degree day. Staff was friendly and attentive as well as clear communicators. A local man showed up some interesting features as well, including an active beaver house... read more and some deciduous conifers indigenous to China. Good exercise and great people! read less

Paddle Board Yoga Had such an amazing time with Natalie at paddle board yoga! I took a friend with me who had never even paddle boarded before. It was relaxing and great for all levels! I highly recommend it. I will definitely go again!

Fun on the Lake Very friendly and helpful staff. It was a great day to be on the water, thanks to Headwaters SUP boards it was a lot of fun too!

Great group of people The 3 people working the booth were excellent. They were friendly, welcoming and genuinely like what they were doing!

Kayaking on Lodi Lake The people here were very friendly and helpful, and seemed quite laid back. Some other people were launching their own kayaks too, and there wasn't a docking fee! I really enjoyed checking out the lake and river at our own pace.

Women’s Morning Paddle Wonderful morning on the water. Everyone at HeadWater and the boat house are amazing. Thank you for a great time!!

Headwaters Kayak Shop is THE ONLY place to get anything kayak/canoe/SUP related!  We aren't pros by any means, nor do we have unlimited money, but everyone at Headwaters treated us like we were one of the family.  They are the... read more best, best, best!  I don't normally leave reviews, but felt compelled to leave one after we were treated like royalty by everyone.  They are extremely knowledgeable, very professional, and very friendly.  Highly recommend the try-before-you-buy program because we had a specific kayak in mind to buy - absolutely knowing that's the one we'd want- and ended up liking something totally different!  If customer service is important to you, then this is the place to go.  If you don't care about customer service, then this is the place to go anyway! read less
