San Joaquin County comprises the Stockton-Lodi-Tracy area, just east of the San Francisco Bay Area. It’s a down-to-earth region named after the San Joaquin River that runs through it, offering plenty of terrific recreational opportunities for you and your dog. Explore the scenic Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta waterways by boat or stroll the levee trails with your pup at your side.

Lodi Wine Country is a hidden gem with over 85 wineries, many featuring dog-friendly patios where you can sip award-winning Zinfandels. In Stockton, take your dog to Oak Grove Regional Park for shaded trails along the Calaveras River. The Visit Stockton team can point you to pet-welcoming restaurants, farmers markets, and outdoor events throughout the year. With its mild climate and wide-open spaces, San Joaquin County is an ideal base for dog-friendly Delta adventures and wine country escapes.
