Construction of Sulphur Creek Dam was completed in 1966 by the Moulton Niguel Water District. The lake was known as Sulphur Creek Reservoir and used to store treated reclaimed water for irrigation. In 1970 the Orange County Flood Control District purchased the dam and reservoir in conjunction with the city of Laguna Niguel for use as a park.
The park was established for public use in 1973. Since then, it has had several developments. In 1976, a lake concession building and boat dock were constructed by the county. In 1981, local S&S Construction Company donated an additional 20 acres (8 ha) of land for county use. The donation included "Kite Hill".
Laguna Niguel Lake, formerly known as Sulphur Creek Reservoir, is an artificial 44-acre (180,000 m 2) fishing and recreational lake in Laguna Niguel, California. It is created by the Sulphur Creek Dam , which was completed in 1966.
The earth-filled Sulphur Creek Dam forms 44-acre (18 ha) Laguna Niguel Lake (formerly known as Sulphur Creek Reservoir), slightly over a mile (1.6 km) long. [ 3 ] [ 10 ] [ 11 ] The creek exits the dam via a concrete spillway on the east side and flows through the middle of Laguna Niguel Regional Park.
The lake is formed by the damming of the Obey River, 7.3 miles (11.7 km) above its juncture with the Cumberland River at river mile 380. Portions of the lake also cover the Wolf River. Dale Hollow is one of four major flood control reservoirs for the Cumberland; the others being Percy Priest Lake, Lake Cumberland, and Center Hill Lake. [2]
This lake is relatively deep due to the height of the dam and the depth of the gorges through which the Obey and its tributaries flowed; the impoundment also enters Kentucky in its Wolf River and Sulphur Creek and Illwill Creek embayments. Below the dam the stream makes two sharp bends before entering the Cumberland.
