Beardsley Lake is a reservoir located in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California. The lake was created in 1923 with the construction of Beardsley Dam, which was built for hydroelectric power generation. The lake is fed by the Middle Fork Stanislaus River and is used as a storage facility for water that is released to generate electricity. The area also receives snowpack that melts and flows into the lake. The lake provides water for agricultural uses such as irrigation and recreation activities such as fishing, boating, and camping. The lake has a surface area of 600 acres and a maximum depth of 240 feet. Overall, Beardsley Lake plays an important role in providing water resources and recreational opportunities for the surrounding communities.
