Scotts Flat Reservoir - Nevada County, California




Visited on 12/8/2017 while traveling north of Nevada City, CA to proctor drinking water examinations at Washington Ridge Conservation Camp.  Scotts Flat Reservoir is located in the Tahoe National Forest off of Highway 20 just a 6.5 miles northeast of Nevada City in the foothills at an elevation of 3,069 feet above sea level.  The beautiful scenic lake is 725 acres in size and was formed back in 1948 with the construction of the Scotts Flat Dam across Deer Creek.  Jeff and I went horseback camping at the nearby Spillman Horse Camp with our good friend Merlin Jackson a couple years ago, which is located just about five miles up Highway 20 from this lake.
