Huntington Lake, Mountain reservoir in Fresno County, California.
Located at 6,955 feet elevation in the Sierra Nevada mountains, Huntington Lake spans 1,435 acres with a length of 7 miles and width of 1 mile.
The reservoir began construction in 1912 under John S. Eastwood's direction as part of the Big Creek Hydroelectric Project to supply power to California regions.
The Western Mono Band of Indians utilized this basin area before the reservoir's creation, sourcing deer, fish, berries, and nuts for sustenance.
Nine campgrounds surround the lake, offering facilities for tent and RV camping, with most sites requiring advance reservations through California Land Management.
A B-24 bomber remains at the bottom of the lake since its crash in December 1943 during a snowstorm, with only two of six crew members surviving.
