Construction of Somerville Lake began in June 1962 and deliberate impoundment of water began in January 1967. Federal cost of the project was approximately $23,700,000.
The section of the Dam where the cache is located has never been open to public vehicle traffic but is a great place to walk and take a bike ride with a great view..
Best to part at the parking lot between the Mexican Cemetery & Dam.
