Santa Fe Dam, Flood control dam in Los Angeles County, United States
Santa Fe Dam features a curved gravity structure spanning 23,800 feet across the San Gabriel River with a height of 92 feet above ground level.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers initiated construction in 1941, paused during World War II, and completed the project with spillway gates in January 1949.
The Nature Center offers educational programs and walking tours throughout the year, managed by volunteers from the San Gabriel Mountains Regional Conservancy.
The recreational area operates from March through October between 6:00 AM and 8:00 PM, providing access to a 70-acre lake for fishing and non-motorized boats.
The dam functions primarily as a dry reservoir throughout the year, coordinating water releases with other dams along the San Gabriel River system.
