Information: Puddingstone Reservoir is a 250 acre (1 km²) synthetic lake between the Orange Freeway (State Route 57) and the San Bernardino Freeway (Interstate 10) in Los Angeles County, California, United States. Activities include fishing, swimming, sailing, wind surfing and camping.
Brackett Field, Raging Waters, and the Fairplex (formerly the Los Angeles County Fairgrounds) are all adjacent to Puddingstone Reservoir which is inside Bonelli Regional Park.
In 1923, the County of Los Angeles Flood Control District, purchased a large piece of to construct a dam to hold back floodwaters from an area covering 303 square miles. Work on the dam started February 1925; it was completed in January 1928. In 1932, a road across the top of the dam was constructed, creating a more direct route between the Pacific Electric station in San Dimas and Pomona Blvd., Pomona. It was a considerably more direct route south; previously travelers had to either go west, through Covina or east through Ganesha Park in Pomona.

Miscellaneous Info
Puddingstone Lake is a popular location in the San Gabriel Valley of Southern California for fishing with populations of perch and crappie and stocked with trout, bluegill, catfish, and largemouth bas.
Historically, Puddingstone Reservoir, besides acting as a flood control basin, also provided water to the local citrus growers. Water was pumped to a smaller reservoir further north, which was used for irrigation purposes. It was soon used for recreation as well: fishing, boating and swimming along selected beach areas. Los Angeles County established Frank G. Bonelli Regional Park at the site; a swimming pool facility was constructed by the County in the area just north of the reservoir, but in the late 1970s or early 1980s, leased the area to a private developer who constructed Raging Waters, a pioneering water themed amusement park.
