Английская Википедия:Cedar Lake (California)
Шаблон:About Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox body of water Cedar Lake is an artificial lake in the San Bernardino Mountains of California that has appeared in dozens of Western films. It is the centerpiece of Cedar Lake Camp, a private retreat center owned and operated by Cedar Lake Camp, Inc., a non profit public benefit corporation.[1]
Located south of the city of Big Bear Lake in San Bernardino County and San Bernardino National Forest, the lake lies about two hours east of Los Angeles and two hours north of San Diego.
The lake is formed by a dam across a minor tributary of Metcalf Creek. The creek feeds Metcalf Bay, an arm of Big Bear Lake,[2] whose waters reach the Pacific Ocean by way of Bear Creek and the Santa Ana River.
History
In 1913, the Talmadge brothers purchased the property where the lake, dam, and camp are now situated. They used the land to graze cattle, then sold it in 1922 to the Bartlett brothers, who built the dam in Шаблон:Start date and age.

In January 1955, the First Congregational Church of Los Angeles bought Шаблон:Convert. The church later increased its holdings to Шаблон:Convert.[3]

- Brigham Young (1940)[5]

It also appeared in six television series, including:[4]
- at least eight episodes of Bonanza[8]
- a 1959 episode of Have Gun–Will Travel[9] and

On May 19, 2010, a 29-year-old man drowned in the lake after his canoe capsized.[11]
