The area seasonally consists of flooded freshwater emergent wetland, valley foothill riparian, and alkali sink scrub habitats. The Mendota Wildlife Area is the perfect place for wildlife viewing, bird watching, fishing, boating, and hunting. 

Enjoy a relaxing day at Mendota’s central local park, Rojas Pierce Park, which has playgrounds, picnic areas, and a pavilion where events are regularly held throughout the year. 

Mendota’s celebrated Farmer’s Market runs from June through September and draws many vendors and shoppers from all across the valley. Mendota is home to the family-owned and operated Cardella Winery and Vineyard where high-quality vintage wines are produced.
