General Information

A seismic retrofit project for the Crane Valley Dam at Bass Lake is underway to improve the dam’s ability to safely withstand seismic events. Until the retrofit construction is completed in 2012, Bass Lake’s water level is lowered ten feet from normal summer operations. Summertime recreation remains open during project construction.
