La Presa

La Presa lies along the eastern shore of Sweetwater Reservoir, where low inland hills rise from the water toward San Diego County’s drier backcountry. This residential community occupies the eastern side of the reservoir, which impounds the Sweetwater River and remains an important part of the region’s water system. Sweetwater Dam, first completed in 1888, stands at the reservoir’s southern end and recalls the infrastructure that helped support the growth of greater San Diego. The setting feels distinctly inland, yet it is within the county’s broad urban area.
