Hollywood Reservoir, Water reservoir in Hollywood Hills, California.

The Hollywood Reservoir contains 2.5 billion gallons of water and stretches across the base of the Santa Monica Mountains with views of the Hollywood Sign.

The Mulholland Dam, constructed in 1924, created this reservoir to supply drinking water for Los Angeles during periods of drought and emergencies.

The reservoir path provides a 3.3-mile paved loop where locals exercise while taking in views of both the water and the surrounding Hollywood Hills.

Visitors can access the reservoir trail from Lake Hollywood Drive, with parking available along the northern section of the street.

Following the 1928 St. Francis Dam disaster, authorities reduced the reservoir's water capacity to 2,800 acre-feet to ensure the structure's long-term stability.
