Lake Sabrina Sunset Rolled Canvas Prints
Lake Sabrina is a lake created by damming the middle fork of Bishop Creek. It is located south-west of Bishop, California on California, in the Inyo National Forest. It has a cafe as well as a dock. The lake is part of the Bishop Creek system. The Bishop Creek Hydroelectric System consists of five sets of independent, high-head-impulse water wheel, electrical power-generating sub-systems established at various elevation along the north, middle and south forks of Bishop Creek on the eastern slopes of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Inyo County, California. Five powerhouses, one control station, two gauging stations, ten flow lines, ten intakes, seven penstocks, four diversions, four reservoirs, four dams, worker housing and other associated support buildings make up the system structures. Lake Sabrina, the most distant reservoir is located approximately eighteen miles southwest of Bishop.
Bishop Creek is a run-of-the-river type system whereby stream water is diverted at various points, transported through flow lines at a gradient far less than the stream channel, and ultimately dropped this elevational distance through pen stocks, or pressure pipes, down to the impulse wheels in the powerhouses.The headwater of the South Fork of Bishop Creek are confined in Bluff Lake and South (Hillside) Lake. Lake Sabrina impounds water from the Middle Fork of Bishop Creek, and Longley Lake collects a portion of the McGee Creek flow that is diverted into the Bishop Creek System. The reservoirs of Bishop Creek all collect and store snow-melt from the high Sierra crest keeping it ready for release when needed.
