Surface water of Lake County
Surface water of Lake County

Lake County covers about 1,261 square miles (3,270 km2) in the California Coastal Range. The rugged topography includes hills, mountains and valleys. The largest waterbody is Clear Lake, at an elevation of about 1,320 feet (400 m) above sea level. The three main drainages are Eel River, Cache Creek and Putah Creek, each of which have their headwaters in the county. Eel River drains the north of the county and flows west into Mendocino County. The center of the county drains into Clear Lake, which drains into Cache Creek, which flows east into Yolo County. The south of the county drains into Putah Creek, which flows south into Napa County.[1] Eel River empties into the Pacific, while Cache Creek and Putah Creek flow into the Sacramento River valley.

Lake County has warm, dry summers, and cool, moist winters. In the summer, a continual tropical air mass typically creates high daytime temperatures and cool evening temperatures. In winter, a marine air mass typically keeps temperatures above 20 °F (−7 °C). Average monthly temperatures range from about 43°F during December through January to about 73°F during July through August.[2] There are greater levels of precipitation at higher elevations and in the north and southwest of the county.[3] Almost 90% of precipitation falls in winter, and there is very little rain from May to September.[4]


Geological changes


Clear Lake formed about 600,000 years ago as the land in the region began to subside when the Clear Lake Volcanic Field erupted. Its basin continues to move downward, while sedimentation keeps it shallow.[5] The Clear Lake basin lies between the watersheds of the Sacramento River and the Russian River. When it was formed it drained east into the Sacramento Valley.[6]

About 200,000 years ago the Clear Lake Volcanic Field blocked the lake's outlet.[6] The lake rose until it found a new outlet, draining west through the Blue Lakes into Cold Creek and the Russian River.[7] Clear Lake was almost 300 feet (91 m) higher than it is today, and Scotts Creek flowed into the lake from the west near where Lakeport is today. It formed a large delta there, which deposited the Lakeport ridge.[5]

At some time in the last 10,000 years a landslide at the west end of the Blue Lakes blocked Clear Lake's outlet to the Russian River watershed. The lake rose again, and created its present outlet via Cache Creek to the Sacramento River.[8] Cache Creek began eroding upstream to Clear Lake, and when it reached the lake the outflow along Cache Creek quickly eroded a channel through soft sediments. The lake dropped almost 300 feet (91 m) as a result.[5]


Basins



Eel River


Eel River flows through the northern part of the County and drains through Lake Pillsbury into Mendocino County.[9] The Eel River’s drainage includes Corbin Creek, Anderson Creek, Cold Creek and Bear Creek. The drainage includes the highest point in Lake County, Snow Mountain. The Pacific Gas and Electric Company created Lake Pillsbury on the Eel River as part of its Potter Valley Project, which diverts water downstream on the Eel River to generate power, and releases the water into the East Fork Russian River. Diverted flows supplement Russian River water supplies in Mendocino and Sonoma Counties. Lake Pillsbury captures about one percent of the Eel River flow.[10]

Clear Lake


Clear Lake is the largest freshwater lake wholly within the state of California. The lake has an average depth of about 26 feet (7.9 m). Many important tributary streams drain into Clear Lake, including Kelsey Creek, Adobe Creek, Scotts Creek and Middle Creek. The streams flow over permeable geologic formations and percolate into the subsurface as groundwater recharge.[9]

Cache Creek


Cache Creek drains Clear Lake and flows eastward into Yolo County, then into the Sacramento River.[9] Cache Creek has two major reaches in Lake County: the north fork and the main branch. The north fork drains an area north of the Clear Lake watershed through Indian Valley Reservoir, and includes Long Valley Creek, Wolf Creek, and Bartlett Creek. The main branch drains Clear Lake and flows eastward into Yolo County. Kelsey Creek, Adobe Creek, Scott’s Creek, and Middle Creek drain through Clear Lake to the main stem of Cache Creek.[12]

Clear Lake and the Indian Valley Reservoir heavily influence the flow characteristics of Cache Creek. Unmanaged flows above the Indian Valley Reservoir on Cache Creek show a strong response to rainfall and low base flows. In contrast, managed flows on Cache Creek below the Indian Valley Reservoir and Clear Lake show a reduced influence of precipitation and increased base flows.[12]

Putah Creek


Putah Creek drains the southwestern portion of Lake County, draining into Lake Berryessa in Napa County.[9] Putah Creek’s drainage includes Harbin Creek, Big Canyon Creek, St. Helena Creek and Soda Creek. The drainage also includes Collayomi Valley, Long Valley and the Coyote Valley. The Putah Creek drainage mostly consists of direct rainfall runoff with a very little snowmelt and base flow. The Putah Creek basin in Lake County has no reservoirs to provide surface storage and regulate flows.[13]

Notes


  1. Thurston Lake is a small body of saline water with no outlet, probably in a volcanic crater. It is near the southwest corner of Clear Lake, and is treated here is part of the Clear Lake basin.[11]
  2. There must be a story behind the two Dutch Oven Creeks. A July 2009 report on steelhead / rainbow trout resources of the Eel River watershed prepared for the California State Coastal Conservancy noted that there were two and described them both. The first has a stream length of about 2.3 miles (3.7 km) and enters Corbin Creek from the south about 3.8 miles (6.1 km) upstream from the Eel River confluence.[14] The second has a stream length of about 2.6 miles (4.2 km) and enters Corbin Creek from the south about 7.9 miles (12.7 km) upstream from the Eel River confluence.[15]
