South Landing

Crowley Lake defines the setting of South Landing — the reservoir spreads across the open floor of Long Valley below the eastern Sierra Nevada, giving this small shore area a broad, high-country character. Created in 1941 when Long Valley Dam impounded the Owens River, the lake forms part of Los Angeles’s Owens Valley water system. Its shores are known for trout fishing, while the surrounding Long Valley Caldera provides a striking volcanic context. This is far from California’s coastal image: sagebrush country, changeable mountain weather and the Sierra’s granite crest shape the wider Mono County setting.
