"This waterfall, the highest in Alameda County, was in Wildcat Canyon and was located at the southern end of where Lake Anza is now. The waterfall sat where the deep canyon cradled Wildcat Creek.  The canyon in this spot is now filled by man-made Lake Anza, formed in 1937 when recreation needs were considered a very high priority, even at the expense of natural features of the land.  Old timers remembered this magnificent waterfall, but modern residents don't seem to know it ever existed. From the book ""Eccentrics, Heroes, and Cutthroats"" by Richard Schwartz.
