Prosser Creek Dam, located near Truckee, California, impounds Prosser Creek to form Prosser Creek Reservoir. This man-made lake is a favorite destination for fishing, with healthy populations of rainbow trout, brown trout, and kokanee salmon. Boaters and water sports enthusiasts enjoy the reservoir's expansive waters, while the surrounding forested hills provide a picturesque setting. The dam itself is an earthfill structure, and the area offers picnic sites and hiking trails along the shoreline.
