New Bullards Bar Reservoir, Reservoir in Yuba County, United States
New Bullards Bar Reservoir is a large water storage lake in Yuba County surrounded by forest. The shoreline stretches for miles with boat access points and recreational areas along the water.
The reservoir was completed in 1969 and replaced several older dams that had existed at the site. It was built to store water for power generation and regional needs.
People come here to enjoy water activities and outdoor recreation along the shoreline. The reservoir serves as a gathering place for those seeking adventure and connection with nature.
A marina at the shoreline offers boat rentals, fuel, and supplies for visitors. Spring and fall offer pleasant conditions for outdoor activities without summer crowds.
Water from the lake flows through a large underground tunnel to power generation facilities downstream. This hidden waterway is an engineering feat that carries flow beneath the mountain terrain.
