Calaveras Lake, Reservoir in Bexar County, Texas.
Calaveras Lake spans 3,624 acres with a maximum depth of 45 feet, providing water resources for power generation and recreational activities southeast of San Antonio.
The construction of the dam began in September 1967 and reached completion in August 1969, establishing a vital cooling system for the Calaveras Power Station.
Multiple fishing tournaments throughout the year bring together local communities at the lake, promoting outdoor sports and recreational fishing traditions.
The lake requires recreational permits for fishing and boating activities, with access through multiple boat ramps and parks equipped with picnic areas.
The reservoir incorporates treated wastewater from San Antonio Water System, making it among the first facilities nationwide to use recycled water for power plant cooling.
