Stone Canyon Reservoir

Stone Canyon Reservoir is a water storage lake in California that collects and holds water for local use. The basin sits among dry hills and provides a calm water surface in an otherwise dry landscape.

The reservoir was built in the early 1900s to secure water for growing communities in the region. It has remained a key part of the area's water management system since its creation.

The lake is accessible by several hiking trails that circle the shoreline and offer good views. The best time to visit is in spring and fall when the weather is pleasant.

The reservoir is a favorite spot for birdwatchers as it attracts many species, especially during migration seasons. Many visitors overlook that the surrounding area is also known for rare wildflowers.
