Chabot Reservoir is a man-made lake located in Alameda County, California. It was created in 1874 by the construction of an earthen dam across San Leandro Creek to provide water for the growing population of Oakland. The reservoir has a capacity of 3.2 billion gallons and is used as a major water supply source for the East Bay Municipal Utility District. The hydrology of Chabot is primarily fed by San Leandro Creek and a network of smaller tributaries. The snowpack from the Sierra Nevada Mountains also contributes to the reservoir's water supply. The water from Chabot is mainly used for domestic purposes, irrigation, and recreation. The reservoir is a popular spot for fishing, boating, hiking, and picnicking. The surrounding area is also home to several parks, including the Anthony Chabot Regional Park.
