Description
Captured at Whiskeytown Lake about 6 miles west of Redding, CA in November, 2017.
The lake takes its name from the Gold Rush mining town beneath its waters, which was inundated after the building of 282-foot Whiskeytown Dam in 1963. But this reservoir has the heart of a natural lake, with more than 3,000 surface acres of crystal-clear water that’s just right for sailing, kayaking, fishing, and windsurfing
Water cresting the rim of the Glory Hole is funneled under the dam, empting into Clear Creek below. The Glory Hole is a functional feature of Whiskeytown Dam and is not designed for recreational use.
This spillway carries excess waters down Clear Creek. this is the location where President John F. Kennedy stood when he dedicated this lake Sept. 28, 1963.
