Rollins Reservoir is located in Nevada County, California and was created in 1965 by the construction of the Rollins Dam on the Bear River. The reservoir has a capacity of 56,000 acre-feet and provides water for irrigation, domestic use, and hydroelectric power generation. The Bear River Watershed is the primary contributor to the reservoir's surface flow, with snowpack contributing to the water supply. The reservoir is operated by the Nevada Irrigation District, and its water is used for agricultural purposes such as irrigating crops like apples, grapes, and peaches. Recreational activities include fishing, boating, camping, and hiking. The reservoir is also home to various species of fish, including bass and trout, making it a popular fishing spot for locals and tourists alike.
