This dam is large, or should I say immense? It is the BF Sisk Dam, just west of Los Banos. The dam's height is 305 feet and it is 18,600 feet long. For those of you who love big number, think over 2 million acre-feet of water can be stored. This 50 year old dam is the largest off-stream dam in the world—off-stream means that there is no stream running into the reservoir. Some people know this dam as the San Luis Dam and Reservoir—it is the large dam you see when you come over Pacheco Pass.
