About the carmel river
The Carmel River is a 36-mile long river that flows through the Central Coast region of California, from the Santa Lucia Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. The river has a rich history dating back thousands of years, as it was used by the Esselen and Rumsen tribes for fishing and gathering. The river's hydrology has been significantly altered by the construction of several dams and reservoirs, including the San Clemente and Los Padres Dams. These reservoirs provide water for agricultural and municipal use, and also serve as recreational areas for fishing, boating, and hiking. The Carmel River is a vital resource for the surrounding communities, and efforts have been made to protect and restore its natural flow and ecosystem.
