Stony Gorge Reservoir is a man-made lake located in the Sacramento Valley in California. The reservoir was created in 1962 by the Stony Gorge Dam, which is used for irrigation and flood control. The reservoir has a storage capacity of 93,000 acre-feet and covers an area of 7.5 square miles.
The hydrology of Stony Gorge Reservoir is primarily fed by the East Branch of the Stony Creek, which is a major tributary of the Sacramento River. The reservoir also receives water from the snowpack in the nearby mountains.
The reservoir serves as a surface water source for agricultural uses in the surrounding region. In addition, the reservoir is a popular destination for recreational activities such as boating, fishing, and camping. The reservoir is managed by the United States Bureau of Reclamation.
