Map of California's interconnected water system, including all eleven reservoirs over 1,000,000 acre-feet (1.2 km 3) as well as selected smaller ones. This is a list of the largest reservoirs, or man-made lakes, in the U.S. state of California.
Willoughby is a glacial lake that is over 300 feet (91 m) deep in places, making it potentially the deepest lake entirely contained within New England, and second in the area to only Lake Champlain, whose deepest point reaches around 400 feet (120 m). Estimates for the lake's depth range from 300 feet (91 m) on the low end, to as much as 340 ...
Therefore, mean depth figures are not available for many deep lakes in remote locations. [9] The average lake on Earth has the mean depth 41.8 meters (137.14 feet) [9] The Caspian Sea ranks much further down the list on mean depth, as it has a large continental shelf (significantly larger than the oceanic basin that contains its greatest depths).
Lake Tahoe is the second deepest lake in the U.S. In terms of area covered, the largest lake in California is the Salton Sea, a lake formed in 1905 which is now saline.It occupies 376 square miles (970 km 2) in the southeast corner of the state, but because it is shallow it only holds about 7.5 million acre⋅ft (2.4 trillion US gal; 9.3 trillion L) of water.

Tulare Lake (/ t ʊ ˈ l ɛər i / ⓘ) or Tache Lake (Yokuts: Pah-áh-su, Pah-áh-sē) is a freshwater lake in the southern San Joaquin Valley, California, United States. Historically, Tulare Lake was once the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi River . [ 2 ]
California is the only state with a groundwater law that includes provisions intended to protect groundwater-dependent ecosystems. But the law, adopted in 2014, gives considerable leeway to local ...
The 118 m (387 ft) earth and rock dam was built by the California Department of Water Resources and was completed in 1973. Pyramid Lake is part of the California Aqueduct, which is part of the California State Water Project. Outflow goes downstream to Castaic Lake, which is the terminus of this West Branch aqueduct line.

The lake's depth has been measured by the California State Lands Commission to be 238 feet (73 m) deep at its deepest point. High water level is 5,935.8 feet (1,809.2 m) above Mean Sea Level. Donner Lake holds some of the biggest lake trout in the state.
