Lake Kaweah provides many types of recreation for park visitors. The lake was formed by the construction of Terminus Dam on the Kaweah River. The dam was completed in 1962 by the US Army Corps of Engineers to provide flood control and water conservation. During the spring run-off season it stores 143,000 acre feet of water.

Energy production was added in 1990 with the construction of the Terminus Power Plant.
