Hidden Wonder Near SF: The "Glory Hole" of Lake Berryessa!

✨ Calling all nature lovers & photographers! This surreal "black hole" swallowing a lake is a must-see spectacle—like something from a sci-fi movie! 🌍 What Is It? Lake Berryessa, Napa County’s largest lake (CA’s 7th biggest reservoir), hides this jaw-dropping feature: 🔹 Glory Hole: A *72ft-wide (22m)* funnel spillway at Monticello Dam, built in the 1950s. 💦 When water rises above 440ft (134m), it cascades down 200ft (61m) at 1,360m³/s—creating a mesmerizing vortex! 📍 How to Visit 🚗 From SF: ~2hr drive to Lake Berryessa, Napa County. 📅 Best Time: After heavy rains (usually winter/spring). Dry seasons? Just an empty hole. 📸 Pro Photo Tips ✅ Drone shots: Aerial views = maximum drama! 🚁 ✅ Golden hour: Afternoon light makes the water glow. 🌅 ⚠️ Stay safe: No close-ups! The current is deadly—a tragic accident occurred in 1997. 💡 Bonus Facts 🏞️ The dam powers the SF Bay Area with water + hydroelectricity. 🍷 Pair your trip with Napa wine tasting! 🍇 #WestCoastTravel #NapaValley #SFBayArea #WeekendGetaway #HiddenGems #TravelPhotography #DroneLife #CaliforniaAdventures
