The lake is in the Whiskeytown Unit of the Whiskeytown-Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area. Whiskeytown Lake has a capacity of {{convert|241,100|acre.ft|Gl|abbr=on|lk=out}} and is formed by Whiskeytown Dam on Clear Creek. Additional water comes from Lewiston Reservoir, supplied by the Trinity River, via the Clear Creek Tunnel, which comes from the bottom of Lewiston Lake. The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment has issued a safe eating [https://oehha.ca.gov/advisories/whiskeytown-lake advisory] for any fish caught in the Whiskeytown Lake due to elevated levels of mercury.[1] RecreationThere are recreational activities available at the lake, including camping, swimming, boating, water skiing and fishing. However, personal water craft have been banned from the lake. Fishing opportunities include rainbow and German brown trout; largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass; and kokanee salmon. Whiskeytown is favored by locals because of the {{convert|30|ft|abbr=on}} visibility of its waters, and wildlife that surround the lake. There are numerous breeding pairs of bald eagles that nest on the lake's shores. Sharing the habitat are black bears, mountain lions, blacktail deer, turtles and raccoons, among other wildlife. It is mandated that the lake be at full capacity by Memorial Day, and remain full until Labor Day. Whiskeytown DamWhiskeytown Dam, an earth-fill embankment dam, is {{convert|263|ft|abbr=on}}, and was completed in 1963. It is owned and operated by the United States Bureau of Reclamation. Its purpose is to provide flood control, water for irrigation, and electricity generation. PowerhouseBefore entering the lake, the water generates hydroelectricity at the 154 MW Judge Francis Carr Powerhouse. Whiskey Creek also empties into the lake. A large portion of the lake's water leaves through the Spring Creek Tunnel, which delivers the water to the 180-MW Spring Creek Powerhouse, whose tailrace empties into Keswick Reservoir. The 117-MW Keswick Powerhouse at Keswick Dam empties into the Sacramento River. ClimateWhiskeytown Reservoir is one of several places in northern California to register a temperature of 120 ºF or above (some others include Red Bluff and Orland). {{Weather box|Jan record high F=79|Jan high F=53.4|Jan low F=36.2|Jan record low F=21|Jan precipitation inch=11.16|Jan snow inch=1.7|Feb record high F=82|Feb high F=57.1|Feb low F=38.0|Feb record low F=18|Feb precipitation inch=10.05|Feb snow inch=0.3|Mar record high F=92|Mar high F=61.9|Mar low F=40.9|Mar record low F=26|Mar precipitation inch=9.49|Mar snow inch=0.2|Apr record high F=97|Apr high F=67.8|Apr low F=44.5|Apr record low F=28|Apr precipitation inch=4.65|Apr snow inch=0|May record high F=104|May high F=77.9|May low F=52.2|May record low F=32|May precipitation inch=2.64|May snow inch=0|Jun record high F=111|Jun high F=86.6|Jun low F=59.0|Jun record low F=39|Jun precipitation inch=1.06|Jun snow inch=0|Jul record high F=113|Jul high F=95.8|Jul low F=64.0|Jul record low F=47|Jul precipitation inch=0.34|Jul snow inch=0|Aug record high F=115|Aug high F=95.5|Aug low F=62.6|Aug record low F=47|Aug precipitation inch=0.28|Aug snow inch=0|Sep record high F=120|Sep high F=89.0|Sep low F=57.9|Sep record low F=41|Sep precipitation inch=1.00|Sep snow inch=0|Oct record high F=104|Oct high F=76.6|Oct low F=50.2|Oct record low F=28|Oct precipitation inch=3.11|Oct snow inch=0|Nov record high F=93|Nov high F=60.4|Nov low F=41.7|Nov record low F=25|Nov precipitation inch=8.74|Nov snow inch=0.4|Dec record high F=81|Dec high F=52.9|Dec low F=36.4|Dec record low F=11|Dec precipitation inch=10.72|Dec snow inch=0.5|single line=Y|precipitation colour=green|source 1=http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliMAIN.pl?ca9621|location=Whiskeytown Reservoir, CA}}See also{{stack|{{portal|California|Water}}}}
