Camanche Dam, Embankment dam in San Joaquin County, United States.
The Camanche Dam rises 171 feet and extends 2,400 feet across the Mokelumne River, creating a reservoir with 56 miles of shoreline.
The East Bay Municipal Utility District constructed the dam between 1963 and 1964, replacing a small town that existed since the California Gold Rush period.
The name originates from a misspelling of the Native American tribe Comanche during the early settlement period of California.
The reservoir supports multiple functions including flood control, agricultural water supply, and recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and camping.
The dam features the largest artificial salmon spawning channel worldwide, demonstrating its commitment to preserving local fish populations.
