The reservoir was named for the first European settlers in the Berryessa Valley, José Jesús and Sexto "Sisto" Berrelleza (a Basque surname, Anglicized to "Berreyesa", then later respelled "Berryessa"), who were granted Rancho Las Putas in 1843.
Prior to its inundation, the valley was an agricultural region, whose soils were considered among the finest in the country. The main town in the valley, Monticello, was abandoned in order to construct the reservoir. This abandonment was chronicled by the photographers Dorothea Lange and Pirkle Jones in their book Death of a Valley. Construction of Monticello Dam began in 1953, completed in 1958, and the reservoir filled by 1963, creating what at the time was the second-largest reservoir in California after Shasta Lake. The Monticello Dam with Lake Berryessa, Putah Diversion Dam with Lake Solano, and associated water distribution systems and lands are known collectively as the Solano Project, which is distinct from other federal water projects in California such as the Central Valley Project.

Bird Swallowed At Lake Berryessa Is OK
Looking at the bell-mouth spillway, it does not seem possible that a bird could fall into it and survive.

Lake Berryessa, California - 4K Drone
Lake Berryessa, California - 4K Drone: Interestingly, this pandemic makes you visit places that you often took for granted just because they are close to your home. Well, it was July and very hot (104 F degrees) and we decided to visit Lake Berryessa. It has been at least 25+ years since I visited Lake Berryessa and I began to remember those memorable memories again.
Lake Berryessa is a fun place to bring your families especially for kids. The lake offers boating, water skiing, wake-boarding, tubing and other fast-paced water sports, plus quiet coves for kayaking, fishing and swimming. I find the waters at the edge of the lake to be a little muddy but once you are a few feet out, the water is fine for a swim. The water can reach 75 degrees during those very hot summers. For those...

The Mystery Of The Hole In Lake Berryessa Is Finally Solved
The world is full of wonders. Among them is the mysterious hole in Lake Berryessa. No one knows how, but the mysterious hole opened up out of nowhere last year. Nobody really knew what it was, where it came from, or where the water was going to. Then, Evan Kilkus discovered something unexpected when he used a drone to explore this pit. And what he found inside was truly outrageous.

Flying a drone into the Lake Berryessa spillway
[Check out another video on my channel; it's wild! https://youtu.be/0Fujb0Qztq0]
Lake Berryessa's spillway is active for the first time in 10 years, thanks to a very wet winter in California.
Flying the drone down into the spillway entrance was interesting: the air rushing down the hole started to pull the drone down but it was easy enough to climb out. Fortunately, the day didn't end with Mavic being spat out the other side of the dam wall!

For those who want to stay the night, they also offer houseboat and cabin rentals, as well as camping options.
A little history is Lake Berryessa is the largest lake in the Napa County of California. This reservoir in the Vaca Mountains was formed following the construction of the Monticello Dam on Putah Creek in the 1950s. Since the early 1960s, this reservoir has provided water and hydroelectricity to the North Bay region of the San Francisco Bay Area.
