Pyramid Lake, Artificial lake in Los Angeles County, United States
Pyramid Lake extends across 1,360 acres with 21 miles of shoreline and reaches depths of 700 feet in the eastern Topatopa Mountains.
Engineers constructed Pyramid Lake in 1972 as part of the California State Water Project, creating a water storage facility between Angeles and Los Padres National Forests.
The Vista del Lago Visitor Center presents exhibits about California water systems and offers interpretive programs about local natural resources.
Three boat-access day areas provide docking facilities, while the Emigrant Landing marina features an eight-lane boat launch and equipment rentals.
The lake received its name from an adjacent rock formation carved during the construction of Route 99, which stands near the 386-foot Pyramid Dam.
