"San Gabriel Dam was completed in 1939 by the Los County Flood Control
District, and is part of one of the most extensive flood control systems in the
world. The dam stands 365 feet above the canyon bottom, is 1,520 feet in
length, and 2,100 feet thick at its base. It is used to protect the San Gabriel
Valley from flooding, and to collect and provide water for valley residents.
The USDA Forest Service manages the flood plain north of the reservoir as an
Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Area, in cooperation with the State of California Off
Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Division of state parks and the Los Angeles
Department of Parks and Recreation. Off-Highway vehicle use in this area is a
unique chance to recreate and experience the rugged beauty and challenge of
off-roading in a mountain environment."
