About Kyen Campground and Oak Grove Day Use Area

Overview

Kyen Campground and Oak Grove Day-Use Area are conveniently situated on Lake Mendocino, in California's Northern Coast Range where redwood forests meet wine country. The lake is formed by the Coyote Dam on the East Fork of the Russian River and offers a wide variety of recreational opportunities, including boating, swimming, picnicking, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, disc golf, and horseback riding.

The 1,822-acre lake provides abundant boating, swimming and water skiing opportunities. Anglers will find sunfish, smallmouth bass, striped bass, crappie, white and channel catfish, bluegill and perch.

Several miles of trails wind around Lake Mendocino, including the 3-mile Shakota Trail, which begins in the Pomo Recreation Area just west of the campground and offers beautiful views of the lake.
