Twain Harte Lake, the private, gated, members-only recreation reservoir on Twain Harte Creek below Twain Harte Golf Club has been drained for dam maintenance and silt removal set to begin next year. The reservoir is impounded by Twain Harte Dam, completed in 1928. The reservoir and the dam are owned by the Twain Harte Lake Association, which says it represents more than 800 members. The reservoir’s open, operational season each summer is Memorial Day to Labor Day weekend. In a statement to The Union Democrat dated Oct. 20, the association said Twain Harte Lake was recently drained for off-season projects to be conducted.
