Fountaingrove Lake is a reservoir in the city of Santa Rosa, California, United States.[3][4] Formed by the Fountaingrove Dam,[2] the lake is fed from the east by Piner Creek, which is also the lake's sole outlet.
Fountaingrove Dam is an earthen dam built in 1953. It is 38 ft (12 m) high, 500 ft (150 m) long, and 15 ft (5 m) wide.[2]
In 1985, a private country club known as The Fountaingrove Club built a championship 18-hole golf course centered on Fountaingrove Lake. The golf course was designed by Ted Robinson Sr.[5]
The dam and half the lake is owned by the city of Santa Rosa as the Nagasawa Community Park.
