Visited on 9/15/2018,
during a visit to the San Diego area proctoring Drinking Water Operator
Certification examinations after the exams I visited two lakes southeast of
downtown San Diego. Sweetwater Reservoir
is a 960 acre artificial lake at an elevation of 757 feet above sea level
located just east of Chula Vista, California in Bonita about 15 miles east of
downtown San Diego. The lake is operated by the Sweetwater Water Authority, and
allows only shore fishing on a limited 2.5 mile stretch of shoreline. Sweetwater Reservoir is formed by the
Sweetwater Dam on the Sweetwater River. Construction of the dam was completed
in 1888.
A bucket list of mine is to travel, document & photograph nearly 750 of the largest lakes in the State of California with a minimum of 50 surface acres. My husband, Jeff, our two water loving Chocolate Labradors, Summer & Skye joined me on several of these trips. This blog includes pictures I have taken & information I have gathered: size, elevation and any other unique facts. Enjoy and feel free to leave a comment along the journey & watch my blog for new lakes I have visited.
