Lexington Reservoir is a man-made water storage facility located in Los Gatos, California. It was constructed in 1952 by the Santa Clara Valley Water District to provide a reliable water supply to the surrounding area. The reservoir has a capacity of 19,044 acre-feet and is fed by the Los Gatos and Guadalupe creeks. In addition to surface flow, the reservoir also receives water from snowpack in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The water stored in Lexington Reservoir is primarily used for domestic and agricultural purposes in Santa Clara County. The reservoir also provides recreational opportunities such as fishing, boating, and hiking. However, due to its location in a high-risk wildfire area, access to the reservoir may be restricted during times of elevated fire danger.
