Crowley Lake: US-395 : McGee Creek Road
Crowley Lake occupies the broad Long Valley basin on the eastern flank of California’s Sierra Nevada. The community lies near the reservoir of the same name, created in 1941 when Long Valley Dam impounded the Owens River. This high-desert corridor forms part of the Long Valley Caldera, a major volcanic depression with active geothermal features. US Route 395 follows the basin, linking the Mono Basin and Mammoth Lakes area with Bishop and the Owens Valley. Angling on Crowley Lake is a longstanding local pursuit, while open terrain and volcanic geology give this section of the Eastern Sierra its expansive character.

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.

California occupies a long Pacific coastal belt in the United States. Its terrain ranges from the Sierra Nevada and the fertile Central Valley to deserts in the southeast and the rugged shores of the Pacific Ocean. The state includes both Mount Whitney, the highest point in the contiguous United States, and extensive protected lands such as Yosemite National Park. California’s cities have exerted worldwide influence through film, technology, agriculture, and music; Hollywood remains an enduring symbol of the American screen industry. Its scale means climates and local character can change dramatically from one county to the next. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of California.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
