Rector Reservoir is a reservoir in Napa Valley, California. It is located to the northeast of Yountville, and southwest of Lake Berryessa and supplies water to Veterans Home of California Yountville.[2] The Silverado Trail leads to the reservoir passing it from north to south to the west of the lake and Rector Canyon.[3] To the west is Silver Oak Cellars and Oakville.
The waters of the reservoir are impounded by Rector Creek Dam, which was built in 1946 across Rector Creek.[1]
The reservoir forms part of the 340 acre Rector Reservoir Wildlife Area, which has 27 species of mammals, 40 species of birds, and 14 species of reptiles and amphibians.[4] Wildlife recorded here include the prairie and peregrine falcon, Cooper's and sharp-shinned hawks, red-legged frogs, and northwestern pond turtles.
