Shasta Dam, which was completed in 1945 on the upper Sacramento River northwest of Redding, is the second-largest reservoir run by the Bureau of Reclamation in the country, behind Grand Coulee Dam in Washington.
Within a few years, the partially completed dam checked flooding on the Feather River in December 1964, saving the Sacramento Valley from flooding. Oroville Dam is the tallest dam in the U.S. at 770 feet (slightly shorter than the TransAmerica Pyramid in San Francisco, which 853 feet tall).
