It was created by the construction of the Bartlett Dam in 1939. Hydrologically, the reservoir is fed by the Verde River, which originates in the Prescott National Forest, and by several tributaries. The surface flow in the area is highly variable and depends on precipitation patterns. The snowpack in winter contributes significantly to the water resources in the area. The reservoir serves as a vital source of water for agricultural purposes and as a recreational spot for water sports, such as boating, fishing, and swimming. The surrounding area is also popular for camping, hiking, and wildlife watching.
