Paradise Lake is one of two
reservoirs which stores water for our community. It is a source of
public water supply therefore it is strictly regulated. It
covers an area of 244 acres and is surrounded by
beautiful wooded land and has a shoreline of 7.5 miles. It's function is
to store raw water for our community of Paradise. It holds
approximately 11,500 acre feet of water. It is our only reservoir
that allows fishing and recreation. Magalia Reservoir is located on
Little Butte Creek downstream from Paradise Lake and does not allow
fishing or recreation. Paradise Dam separates the two
reservoirs.
Paradise Dam,
which creates Paradise Lake, was originally constructed in 1956. It is
approximately 4 miles north of Magalia on Little Butte Creek. The dam was originally
140 feet high and was raised an additional 26.5 ft in 1976. For more
