Fun Facts

In 2001, a 20.25-pound largemouth bass was caught here, setting a new world record!

After its expansion, the reservoir reaches depths of up to 306 feet, making it one of the deepest in Southern California.

It can store up to 242,000 acre-feet of water, which is enough to fill over 120,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools!

The reservoir's floating dock is designed to rise and fall with water levels, ensuring easy access for boaters year-round.

Completed in 2014, it was the largest dam raise in the United States, increasing the dam's height by 117 feet!
