Camanche Reservoir, Water reservoir in the Sierra Foothills, California, US
The reservoir encompasses 12 square miles of water surface and extends across 53 miles of shoreline at the intersection of Amador, Calaveras, and San Joaquin counties.
Completed in 1963, Camanche Dam created this reservoir, submerging the former gold rush town of Camanche and other settlements beneath its waters.
The Mokelumne River Hatchery, established in 1963 near the reservoir, works to maintain fish populations and underwent improvements in 2002 to increase survival rates.
The reservoir provides 500 campsites and 200 RV hook-ups, with amenities including hot showers, restrooms, laundry facilities, and immediate lake access.
The reservoir receives annual deposits of 50,000 pounds of trout between October and June, supporting a large population of bass and other fish species.
