Crystal Springs Dam is a gravel dam constructed across the San Mateo Creek, impounding water to form the Lower Crystal Springs Reservoir in San Mateo County, California.
The structure was completed in 1888 and has survived both the 1906 earthquake and the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989 earthquakes despite location directly on the San Andreas Fault.
The dam has a road running over it and forms the trailhead of the popular Sawyer Camp Trail.
