Description

Lake Sonoma is operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and is located 11 miles west of Healdsburg on Dry Creek Road. The Corps built Warm Springs Dam, which Forms Lake Sonoma, in 1983. The compacted earth-filled dam serves as a deterrent to disastrous floods, stores water for irrigation and local municipalities, and creates a lake with dozens of recreational opportunities. The dam is 319-feet high, 3,000-feet long, and creates a lake with the capacity to hold up to 120 billion gallons of water. The visitor center and fish hatchery are located at the park entrance and are open year-around. Within the visitor center are exhibits that describe the local history of the Dry Creek Valley, including the Pomo Indian Tribes of the area.
