Hernandez Reservoir - San Benito County, California


Jeff and I took a nice trip to Southern California for a Rodeo weekend in Banning, California outside of Palm Springs for the weekend.  We were camping with our two chocolate Labradors, Summer and Skye.  While on our camping adventure we set out to several lakes and reservoirs over the long weekend. 

I visited Hernandez Reservoir on my way home on 05/06/2019.  Hernandez Reservoir is a 590 acre artificial lake located at an elevation of 2.411 feet above sea level created by impounding water from the San Benito River in the Diablo Mountain Range.  Located in Central California,100 southeast of San Jose, California.  The Hernandez earthen filled dam was built in 1962 on the San Benito River to control water supply down to the communities near Hollister, CA.
