Lake Forest

The landscape around Lake Forest is a dry, rolling belt of foothills below the Santa Ana Mountains, which has shaped both its low-rise suburban form and its ties to the wider Orange County economy. The city occupies part of Saddleback Valley, where Serrano Creek feeds the San Diego Creek watershed and preserved open space sits beside planned neighbourhoods. Lake Forest incorporated in 1991, uniting the earlier communities of El Toro and Serrano under a name inspired by two artificial lakes. Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park connects the city with oak-lined canyons and trails in the foothills. Place Lake Forest in its Orange County setting by browsing webcams nearby.
