Map of California's interconnected water system, including all eleven reservoirs over 1,000,000 acre-feet (1.2 km 3) as well as selected smaller ones. This is a list of the largest reservoirs, or man-made lakes, in the U.S. state of California.
The winter months are a crucial time of year for California's water supply. It is the state's wet season, the time to stockpile water for the drier months that run from the spring into the fall.

The reservoir it creates, Sherman Reservoir, has a water surface of 2,845 acres (1,151 ha), surrounded by 4,721 acres (1,911 ha) of land. It has a maximum capacity of about 69,000 acre-feet (85,000,000 m 3). [4] Recreation includes fishing, hunting, boating via multiple marinas and boat ramps, camping, and hiking. [5]
