RINDGE DAM

is located about three miles upstream from the Malibu

coastline. The structure was completed in 1926 on the Rindge family property and provided water for irrigation and household use in Malibu.

By the 1940s the reservoir had completely filled with sediment and the dam was decommissioned in 1967. It was purchased shortly thereafter to become part of Malibu Creek State Park.
