CCWD's Los Vaqueros Reservoir can store up to 100,000 acre-feet of high quality water for the District's customers.

The reservoir is being enlarged to store 160,000 acre-feet, and there are many changes.

The north end of the watershed near Brentwood, including the John Muir Interpretive Center and trails are now closed to the public. Here's a map.

The reservoir and watershed are open 365-days a year, and fishing is available. A weekly fishing report is on-line. The marina is stocked with fishing supplies, snacks, ice cream and hot food.
