Stevens Creek Reservoir

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stevens Creek Reservoir is a reservoir located in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains near Cupertino, California. Stevens Creek Dam, which holds back the lake, was constructed in 1935. Stevens Creek feeds the reservoir and also flows from the lake. Stevens Creek Reservoir was named after a nineteenth century local who had lived near the present-day revervoir.

The reservoir is located in Stevens Creek County Park, with the Pichetti Open Space Preserve adjacent to its east. The Montebello Ridge is the home of the Ridge Vineyards, a historic family-owned operation.
