Almaden Reservoir is an artificial lake in the hills south of San Jose, California in the United States. It borders on the 4,163-acre (1,685 ha) Almaden Quicksilver County Park,[7] which provides limited fishing[8] ("catch-and-release"), picnicking, hiking, and horseback riding activities. Swimming[9] and boating[10] are not permitted in the reservoir.
The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment has issued a "Do Not Eat" advisory for any fish caught in Almaden Reservoir due to elevated levels of mercury.[11]
