Success Lake is a reservoir near Porterville, California, on the Tule River at coordinates 36.06°N 118.92°W / 36.06; -118.92 close to the southern end of the Central Valley. It is formed by Success Dam and has a capacity of 82,000 acre-feet (101,000,000 m3). The dam, standing at 156 ft (48 m) tall, is an earth dam owned and operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
