Additional Description: Photo captions:
Construction of Whiskeytown Dam and the Glory Hole (right side of photo) began in 1959 and finished in 1963.

Water for Fish — Water from Whiskeytown Lake is released into Clear Creek through special outlets in the dam. These outlets blend the lake’s warmer water (57 F) with its colder, deep water (45 F). This system benefits the salmon and steelhead trout that use Clear Creek as their spawning ground.
