Description
Willow Creek Dam is the first in the world to employ a quick and inexpensive construction technique, in which concrete is built up in layers like a cake instead of molded and slabbed. The lake itself is located at an elevation of 1900 feet.
It has easy access, a concrete boat launch, parking, boat docks, and restrooms. Rainbow Trout and other warm water fish are typically caught in this reservoir. Whether fishing, swimming, picnicking, or water-skiing, Willow Creek Lake provides an opportunity for everyone.
