   Not exactly but kinda, provided I know which lake you mean. Anyway, Youtube hates me and instead of just saying the thing you linked to a Youtube video with a clickbait title so I don't know which lake you mean.
   
   There are seasonal lakes, they cover a lot of area but are not deep and most of those have been dammed up.

     @p @meowski @NonPlayableClown Tulare Lake, which was big, but I am not sure it was "the biggest freshwater lake West of the Great Lakes" in the 1800s. Tahoe seems like it is bigger.
     
     I am aware that the farmers used (and continue to use) lots of water (about 90% of all CA water use), so it I'm not at all surprised to learn that they drained Tulare.
