Don Pedro Reservoir
Don Pedro Reservoir is an artificial lake formed by the construction of the New Don Pedro Dam across the Tuolumne River in the Stanislaus National Forest of Tuolumne County, California in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. Communities located nearby are Moccasin and La Grange.
Also referenced as Don Pedro Lake when the name is qualified, the first projects in 1923 are generally referred to as the Old Don Pedro Dam and reservoir, and the 1971 upgrades are the New Don Pedro Dam and reservoir. Don Pedro Reservoir takes its name from Don Pedros Bar.〔(Who was Don Pedro? ) Don Pedro Recreation Agency〕 Pierre ("Don Pedro") Sainsevain was one of the first prospectors after the discovery of gold in 1848.
==Background==
When full, the reservoir's shoreline is approximately . The reservoir submerges some of Tuolumne River bed, and has a surface area of about . The stored here comes from a watershed of over , and is used by the Modesto Irrigation District (MID) and the Turlock Irrigation District (TID) for the irrigation of several hundred square miles of Central Valley farm land. Some of the water is treated by the MID and used as drinking water in Modesto. The two irrigation districts and the BLM control the land above the high lake level, so there are no private boat docks on lakefront parcels. There are three public boat ramps.
It is the sixth-largest artificial lake in California.
