Huntington Lake is a reservoir in Fresno County, California on Big Creek, located in the Sierra Nevada at an elevation of 6,955 feet (2,120 m).[2] The lake receives water from Southern California Edison's Big Creek Hydroelectric Project, as well as the many streams that flow into the lake.[3] Some water leaving the lake flows to Big Creek, while some is diverted to nearby Shaver Lake.[3] The lake is home to a variety of recreational activities, including camping, horse-back riding, skiing, sailing, fishing and more.[2] It is drained and refilled through the Big Creek dam system each year, with winter water levels often dipping below 50 percent of the lake's capacity.[4]
