U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System: Lake Piru
Lake Piru (/ˈpaɪruː/ⓘ) is a reservoir located in Los Padres National Forest and Topatopa Mountains of Ventura County, California, created by the construction in 1955 (69 years ago) (1955) of the Santa Felicia Dam on Piru Creek, which is a tributary of the Santa Clara River.
The reservoir is more widely known for celebrity incidents: in 1999, actor Harrison Ford crashed his helicopter by the lake, and in 2020, actress Naya Rivera died by drowning. Several other people have drowned in the lake as well. Due to these incidents, swimming at the lake is permanently banned.
