Crowley Lake

Few communities in California have a history as closely tied to Los Angeles’s water supply as Crowley Lake. The settlement stands beside the reservoir formed when Long Valley Dam was completed on the Owens River in 1941, within the broad Long Valley Caldera east of the Sierra Nevada. Open, high-elevation volcanic terrain gives the area a markedly different character from the busier resort town of Mammoth Lakes nearby. Crowley Lake is particularly known for trout fishing, while the caldera’s geology and the surrounding Eastern Sierra define its wider setting.
