Description:It covers over 650,000 acres and is the backyard playground to the huge metropolitan area of Los Angeles. The Angeles National Forest manages the watersheds within its boundaries to provide valuable water to southern California and to protect surrounding communities from catastrophic floods. The land within the Forest is as diverse in appearance and terrain as it is in the opportunities it provides for enjoyment. Elevations range from 1,200 to 10,064 feet. Much of the Forest is covered with dense chaparral which changes to pine and fir-covered slopes as you reach the majestic peaks of the higher elevations. Deep lake with many fingers in forested mountains that slope up quickly from water's edge. Dam at end. ***FILMING ON AND AROUND THE DAM IS ONLY ON CASE-BY CASE BASIS SINCE 9/11*** ***NATIONAL FOREST PERMIT NEEDED ALONG WITH DWR STATE PERMIT FROM THE CALIFORNIA FILM COMMISSION***
