Bass Lake

Madera County, United States

Bass Lake, formerly known as Crane Valley Reservoir, is a man-made lake located in Madera County, California, within the Sierra National Forest, approximately 14 miles (23 km) south of Yosemite National Park. The lake was formed by the construction of Crane Valley Dam on Willow Creek, a tributary of the San Joaquin River. Completed in 1910, the 145-foot (44 m) concrete gravity dam was built to generate hydroelectric power. Today, Bass Lake supports energy production, recreation, and diverse ecological habitats.
