Outlet valve at Bull Run Lake 968m (3,175ft), with Mount Hood 3,424m (11,234ft) beyond. This is the highest reservoir in the Bull Run Watershed and is celebrated for the high purity of its water. This is the origin of Portland's drinking water, which flows by gravity to the Mount Tabor reservoirs before entering the City's water distribution network.
