The reservoir was built in 1962 as part of the Truckee River Storage Project, which aimed to provide water for irrigation, power generation, and municipal use. The reservoir is fed by Prosser Creek, which is a tributary of the Truckee River, and its hydrology is heavily influenced by the area's snowpack providers. The reservoir is managed by the Truckee Donner Public Utility District, which also operates a hydroelectric power plant on the dam. In addition to its recreational uses, the reservoir is also used to provide water for nearby agricultural and municipal needs.
