Desert, Soda Lake, Temblor Range, San Luis Obispo County, water
Code Number:
NPSV07P01_16
Title:
Desert, Soda Lake, Temblor Range, San Luis Obispo County, water
This large basin is all that remains of a prehistoric sea. This is one of the largest undisturbed alkali wetlands in California. This 3,000 acre lake provides important habitat for migratory birds, including a quarter of the state's wintering sandhill crane population. With no outlet, the water evaporates, leaving behind a glistening expanse of pure white sodium sulfate and carbonate.
