Turlock Lake has been closed to recreation for a year and a half, and there’s no timeline on when it might reopen. The Tuolumne River reservoir west of La Grange had provided boating, camping, picnics, swimming and other activities for 70-plus years. The water belongs to the Turlock Irrigation District, but the recreation is under the state park system. Public access stopped in November 2020, when the concessionaire running the site, American Land and Leisure, withdrew from its contract.
