It was built in 1922 by the Pacific Gas and Electric Company for hydroelectric power generation and irrigation purposes. The reservoir created by the dam, Lake Pillsbury, has a capacity of 82,000 acre-feet and is fed by the Eel River and its tributaries. The hydrology of the area is influenced by the Mediterranean climate that brings wet winters and dry summers. Surface flows in the Eel River are mainly from rainfall, while snowpack in the winter months is a significant source of water supply. The area surrounding the Lake Pillsbury is used for recreational activities such as camping, fishing, and boating. The reservoir also provides water for agricultural use in the nearby vineyards and orchards.
