Pardee Dam, Arch dam across Mokelumne River in Amador County and Calaveras County, United States.
The Pardee Dam stretches 1,337 feet in length and rises 345 feet high, creating a substantial reservoir that spans across two California counties.
Construction of the Pardee Dam commenced in July 1927 and reached completion in 1929, marking a major advancement in California's water infrastructure development.
The dam received its name from George Pardee, a former California governor who made substantial contributions to the state's water management policies.
The East Bay Municipal Utility District manages the dam, which supplies water to the San Francisco Bay Area through the Mokelumne Aqueduct system.
The dam maintains strict regulations prohibiting human body contact with its reservoir water, limiting recreational activities to fishing and boating only.
