Visited on 3/10/2019, Jeff and I took a drive with our pups, Summer and Skye to the San Francisco Bay Area to take a tour of all of the lakes in Contra Costa County and a couple in Alameda County. Our fourth Lake we visited in the Bay Area was San Antonio Reservoir. San Antonio Reservoir is located in Alameda County, California, about three miles east-southeast of Sunol. It was built in 1964 by the City and County of San Francisco. Formed by the James H. Turner Dam across San Antonio Creek not far above where it flows into Alameda Creek, its purpose is to store water from the Hetch Hetchy Aqueduct and local wells and watersheds. It has a surface size of 825 surface acres and is at an elevation of 463 feet above sea level. Public access is considered trespassing, so we didn’t risk it and this is a stock photo.
