Lake Mendocino recreation area to receive a makeover 

MENDOCINO CO., 10/29/24 — Northeast of Ukiah lies a nearly 2,000-acre reservoir, formed in 1958 by the construction of Coyote Dam. Managed by the Army Corps of Engineers, Lake Mendocino offers swimming, day-use and overnight camping, fishing, boating, hiking and other activities. The lake has many advocates and some detractors, who complain about drug use and vandalism.  

Recently, a consortium formed to increase tourism and recreational activities at the lake.
