Boat in Don Pedro Reservoir Photo

A scenic picture taken of a boat floating in Don Pedro Reservoir near the historic town of Jacksonville, California. Nestled in the Sierra-Nevada foothills east of Modesto, California, Don Pedro Reservoir/Lake is the sixth-largest body of water in California. When full, the reservoir is 26-miles-long, has a capacity of more than two million acre-feet and 160 miles of shoreline. The reservoir and dam were built with multiple benefits in mind: water storage, power generation, flood control and recreation.
