Cherry Lake near Hetch Hetchy in California is a reservoir created by the Hetch Hetchy Dam in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The dam was built in the early 20th century to provide water and hydroelectric power for San Francisco. The hydrology of the area is influenced by snowpack from the surrounding mountains, which feeds into the Tuolumne River and ultimately into the reservoir. The reservoir also receives water from specific surface flows in the area. Agriculture and recreation are limited in the immediate vicinity of the reservoir due to its protected status, but nearby areas offer opportunities for hiking, fishing, and camping. Overall, Cherry Lake serves as an important source of water and power for the San Francisco Bay Area.
