About Mokelumne River - El Dorado National Forest The Mokelumne is a popular site for fishing, camping, water play, birding, picnics, gold panning, spring wildflower watching, and other activities. Above Salt Springs Reservoir, the Mokelumne Wilderness challenges those who seek a true wilderness experience. Backpacking in this federally designated wilderness area requires good back-country skills. In its original 2040 long range water plan, issued in 2009, the East Bay Municipal Utility District wanted to flood more than a mile of the river's unique cultural and historic sites. A coalition of stakeholders sued EBMUD in November 2009; and in April 2011 a Sacramento Superior Court judge ruled in the groups' favor and voided the EBMUD plan. Field Guide Findings from this project may become part of an evolving Insects of the San Francisco Bay Area field guide.
