Lake Clementine

Auburn, CA

Lake Clementine is a reservoir on the North Fork American River Canyon above the picturesque, California Gold Rush-era town of Auburn (elevation 1,200 feet) in Northern California. It was created in 1939 when the North Fork Dam, a 155-foot tall constant angle arch dam, was completed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers, for the purpose of containing gold-mining debris which were washing downriver.
