Lakeland Boulevard Trailhead provides access to the Diversion Pool area east of the Thermalito Diversion Dam with unpaved parking and hitching posts for equestrians, though there is no developed shoreline access at this location.

The site serves as a gateway to the Dan Beebe Trail and other regional trails, with the gate locked from sunset to dawn. A Union Pacific Railroad line is adjacent to the trailhead, and visitors are advised not to trespass on the tracks.
