The reservoir was created in 1960 by the construction of a dam on the Jackson Creek, a tributary of the Middle Fork of the Yuba River. The hydrology of the area is dominated by snowmelt from the Sierra Nevada Mountains which maintains the water level of the reservoir. The snowpack provides a major source of water for agriculture, recreation, and hydropower generation. The reservoir is also used for recreational purposes like fishing, boating, and camping. The surrounding area is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts during the summer months. The reservoir is managed by the Nevada County Water District which ensures that it continues to provide reliable water supply to the area.
