Millerton Lake, Reservoir in Fresno and Madera counties, California, United States
The Millerton Lake stretches across 4,900 acres along the San Joaquin River, reaching depths of 319 feet at the base of Friant Dam.
The construction of Friant Dam in 1942 submerged the original town of Millerton, which served as the first county seat of Fresno County.
The California State Parks system manages educational programs at Millerton Lake, focusing on local ecosystems, wildlife adaptations, and watershed conservation.
The reservoir distributes water through the Madera and Friant-Kern Canals to support agricultural operations throughout the San Joaquin Valley region.
Three hydroelectric plants at Millerton Lake generate power from water releases, including two smaller facilities dedicated to fish hatchery operations.
