Loveland Dam, Arch dam in San Diego County, United States
Loveland Dam spans 765 feet across the Sweetwater River, featuring a concrete arch design that rises 203 feet above the riverbed.
The California Water and Telephone Corporation completed the construction of Loveland Dam in 1945 to enhance water storage and flood control capabilities.
The reservoir formed by the dam provides recreational fishing opportunities for residents and visitors throughout San Diego County.
The dam creates the Loveland Reservoir with a storage capacity of 25,387 acre-feet and a surface area of 454 acres.
The reservoir's smaller surface area compared to nearby Sweetwater Reservoir reduces water loss through evaporation in the California climate.
