Castaic Dam located near the city of Castaic California is an earth-fill dam with its surfaces covered with boulders and cobble-sized rocks to prevent erosion. Although located on Castaic Creek and forming Castaic Lake Castaic Creek provides little of its water. The lake is the terminus of the West Branch of the California Aqueduct part of the State Water Project. The dam was built by the California Department of Water Resources and construction was completed in 1973.
