Overview
East Park Dam, which forms East Park Reservoir, is part of the Orland Project. East Park Dam is on Little Stony Creek in Glen County about 33 miles southwest of the town of Orland. Completed in 1910, the dam stores irrigation waters diverted and impounded from Little Stony Creek, Squaw Creek, and Little Indian Creek. East Park Reservoir is 2.7 miles long and encompasses 1,820 acres. The reservoir has a total capacity of 52,000 acre-feet. There are 25 miles of shoreline, 10 miles of which are available for public use. The dam is a curved, concrete thick-arch gravity structure. East Park Dam was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in the mid-1980s.
