Why is it called China Lake and not American Lake?

This base allows community members to shop and play at their facilities. Great gym, pool, parks, thrift store, bowling alley, seasonal events, and their MWR for tickets. The China Lake Museum (located outside the actual base entrance) is a good place to learn about all the cool things that have been developed there and the kinds of specialized testing they do. And then there's the petroglyphs!!!

Cool place,could use a Starbucks out in the ECR.

Personally, the powers to be, should be looking at the issue of fracking in Kern County. Kern County allows fracking, not just the huge oil/gas industry, but the experimental geothermal hydrofracturing and directional drilling on the base with the help of DOE. I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss fracking on the edge of tetonic plates as the cause of these large quakes in Ridgecrest.
I thought the exact same, especially since the base was at the epicenter of the earthquake
No it's not that kinda lake it's a ancient dried up Ocean that is so much salt that you can't enter the water and the dirt around it as you get closer is like quicksand it's fenced of from human and animal contact such as ducks
I worked with a gentleman by the name Fred Schuette at the then Kerr McGee Westend facility in Trona. I lived in Ridgecrest. The US Navy started acquiring this site in 1943 for R&D. Fred Schuette would tell me that his parents had a ranch about where the Geotheminal is. He was born on on that ranch. The US Navy gave his family very little compensation and they never received fair value. Ridgecrest was originally a dairy farm called Crumville. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ridgecrest,_California

Yes you can. The museum is no longer located on the base. It is in Ridgecrest by the Maturango Museum
