Built in 1964, the earth dam stands at a height of 113 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 22,566 acre-feet. The reservoir covers a surface area of 931 acres and is fed by the Indian Creek.
Managed by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) and Safety of Dams, Antelope Lake is subject to state regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement.
