Barker Dam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Barker Dam is a water-storage facility located in Joshua Tree National Park in California. The dam was constructed by early cattlemen, and is situated between Queen Valley and the Wonderland of Rocks near the Wall Street Mill. It is a gathering place for desert wildlife, including many species of birds and Desert Bighorn Sheep. Visitors can reach the dam via a short trail from a nearby parking lot, and can see Native American petroglyphs a short distance to the west. The park offers a Barker Dam Nature Hike led by a ranger.
Barker Dam is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
