The reservoir was created by the construction of Bradbury Dam, a earth-fill structure built by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation in 1953. Its surface area covers , with a maximum design capacity of , but it is currently limited to due to sediment accumulation. ==History== Built by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation in 1953, the name "Cachuma" comes from a Chumash village that the Spanish spelled "Aquitsumu", from the Barbareno Chumash word ''aqitsu'm'', meaning "sign". Body contact activities such as swimming, wading, or water skiing in Lake Cachuma have been restricted since the park opened in the 1950s, reasoning that the lake was a reservoir people depend upon for drinking water. In May 2011, the no body contact regulation was revised to allow human-powered recreational watercraft such as kayaks and canoes on the lake as well as allow dogs on boats and eliminate "incidental body contact" with the water as a punishable offense. A large campsite on the south shore of Cachuma Lake is administered by the Santa Barbara County Parks division of the Community Services Department. The University of California, Santa Barbara rowing team regularly practices and races at Lake Cachuma and erected a permanent boathouse there just prior to the 1982-1983 school year. The lake is also a popular destination for viewing bald eagles from seasonal tour boats. Solvang, California is approximately to the west of Lake Cachuma. The town of Santa Ynez, California is approximately to the west of Bradbury Dam. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lake Cachuma」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
