Black Butte Lake is a man-made reservoir situated in Tehama and Glenn counties in California, created in 1963 by the construction of Black Butte Dam by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Spanning 7 miles in length with a shoreline of 40 miles, the lake covers a surface area of 4,460 acres, serving as a vital flood protection measure for local communities and agricultural lands. Despite its recreational opportunities, the lake has a cautionary advisory issued by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment due to elevated mercury levels in the fish population. Offering a picturesque setting for outdoor enthusiasts, Black Butte Lake remains a significant landmark in the region for both its engineering feat and environmental considerations.Generated from the website
