The following is a growing list of occurrences where towns lie at the bottom of one of California’s man-made lakes. However, not all of them double as a liquid time capsule with towns from a bygone era. In extremely rare cases, some of these towns come back to “life” during severe droughts where foundations are exposed and, for a moment, we can step back in time.Ĭalifornia has nearly 1,500 reservoirs that make up the state’s water grid. In fact, in a handful of lakes and reservoirs, scuba divers can head down to the murky depths and find various artifacts and structures of California’s underwater towns. Yet, beneath the waters of some of these lakes and reservoirs lie remnants of towns dating back to the Gold Rush era. Many of California’s lakes and reservoirs provide endless fun for visitors along with other vital resources like irrigation, hydroelectricity, and drinking water.
