Picnics are Out of the Question Here
The spillway at Lake Berryessa in California is a crucial piece of infrastructure designed to prevent flooding. When the lake’s water level rises, it acts as a mechanism to discharge excess water into Putah Creek, safeguarding the surrounding area. Its distinctive spiral structure is so impressive that it’s visible even from the highway.
While there’s no real danger of being sucked into the spillway, safety fences and buoys are in place, allowing you to enjoy its sight from a safe distance. You can observe this beautiful structure, almost like an exhibit in a zoo. It’s not exactly ideal for a picnic, but the scenery makes it worth a visit.
