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. Chekaka Campground s 20 sites
are within walking distance to the lake and dam. The campground has vault
toilets, no full hook-ups and no hot showers. The south boat ramp is nearby
with public phone available. Two day-use areas with picnic shelters, tables
and a 18-hole disc golf course are within walking distance of the
campground. A 3 mile hiking trail begins at the overlook and loops around
to the north end of the lake where a designated swim beach is located.
