This used to be a small, natural pond, but was expanded with the help of an earthwork dam that miraculously survived a famous earthquake in 1906 that more or less took place right underneath the dam. Because this is a reservoir you can't swim in it, but there's a great multi-use trail that you can follow as far as the Crystal Springs Dam.
