'''Mississippi Lake''' is [[reservoir]] on [[Mississippi Creek]] within [[Henry W. Coe State Park]] in [[Santa Clara County, California]]. It is also the largest reservoir in the park.
== History ==
Mississippi Lake was created when the valley of Mississippi Creek, that runs southward through the Diablo Range, was dammed in the 20th century on the south side of [[Valle Atravesado]] and is now a [[reservoir]]. This reservoir was originally named '''Murray Lake''', named after its builder Murray Hopkins, who not only built the reservoir but the 59 miles of [[County Line Road (Santa Clara County, Stanislaus County, California)|County Line Road]] along the [[Drainage divide|divide]] of the Diablo Range between [[San Antonio Valley]] and [[Fifield Ranch]].<ref name=Latta>[[Frank Forrest Latta|Frank F.
