Lyons Reservoir is a man-made lake located in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California, providing hydroelectric power generation, irrigation, and recreational activities. It was constructed in the 1930s to create a reliable water supply and hydropower facility for the local area. The reservoir is fed by surface flow from the Stanislaus River and the North Fork of the Tuolumne River, as well as from snowpack melting during the spring season. The area around the reservoir is primarily used for agricultural purposes, including grazing and timber harvesting. The reservoir is also a popular spot for fishing, boating, and camping during the summer months. The surrounding forests and mountain ranges offer opportunities for hiking, hunting, and other outdoor activities.
