The reservoir was built in the 1920s as part of the San Carlos Irrigation Project. The reservoir's original purpose was water storage and flow regulation for the Florence-Casa Grande and Casa Grande Canals. The lake's design capacity was 24,500 acre feet (30,200,000 m3) of water, with a surface area of over 2 square miles (5.2 km2). Over the years, siltation and vegetation have reduced the capacity and surface area, so that much of the reservoir is a shallow marsh with extensive stands of cattails and rushes. Water level is highly variable, and the lake is completely dry in some years.Fish speciesLargemouth BassCrappieSunfishCatfish (Channel)TilapiaCarpBullfrogs
