About Valley Springs
Historic charm meets modern living
Valley Springs developed as a railroad stop in 1885, becoming a crucial distribution center. The narrow gauge line connected the town to Stockton and San Francisco, enabling residents to reach the Bay Area in just 7.5 hours.
The construction of Pardee Dam (1929), Hogan Dam (1931), and New Hogan Dam (1964) transformed the area into a recreation destination. Today, thousands of visitors enjoy boating, fishing, and camping at the nearby Tri-Dam reservoirs.
