San Andreas Lake, Reservoir in Millbrae, California, US.
San Andreas Lake spans 550 acres along the San Francisco Peninsula, storing over 23 million cubic meters of water at an elevation of 138 meters.
The Spanish Portolá expedition discovered the area in 1769, leading to the establishment of a water reservoir that became essential for regional development.
The San Andreas Lake Trail system connects multiple communities, providing residents with opportunities for outdoor activities and environmental education programs.
While the reservoir remains closed for public water protection, visitors can access the paved eastern shore trails for hiking and cycling activities.
The reservoir sits directly on the San Andreas Fault line, with its dam construction specifically engineered to withstand seismic movements.
