Public Access
At the 200-acre (0.81 km2) Cartago Springs wetland at the foot of Owens Lake, the California Department of Fish and Game is using mitigation funds from CalTrans to enhance habitat. This property continues to develop as a wildlife-viewing area for the public. The site is open year-round for viewing of numerous bird species attracted to the ponds and wetlands as well as the ruins of a historic soda ash plant from the World War I era and the 1920s.
