As the nation's largest federal provider of outdoor and water-based recreation, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers invites you and your family to have a safe and enjoyable visit to one of the Corps' more than 400 lakes and more than 2,400 recreation sites nationwide. During your visit to these sites or the thousands of other federal lands and waters, we encourage you and your loved ones to always wear a properly fitted life jacket when boating or playing on or near the water. We need your help to reduce the number of water-related injuries and deaths. Visitor safety is the Corps' number one priority. We actively promote water and boater safety and education programs.

KYEN CAMPGROUND & DAY USE AREA (CA), CA

Description

Lake Mendocino is located in the northern coast range of California, where redwood forests meet the wine country. Coyote Dam, built and maintained by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is 160 feet high and 3,500 feet long, creating a lake with a surface area of 1,822 acres. The project provides flood damage reduction, water conservation, hydroelectric power, as well as a variety of recreational opportunities. Kyen Campground has over 100 sites, which are within walking distance to the lake. The campground has flush toilets, hot showers and no full hook-ups. The North boat ramp is near by, and a public phone is available. There are also two day use areas, Oak Grove and Pomo, which have picnic shelters, tables and grills within walking distance of the campground. A 3 mile hiking trail begins at the Cultural Center at the Pomo Day Use Area and loops around to the south end of the lake, ending at the Overlook Day Use Area, near the dam and south boat ramp.
