Honey Lake is an endorheic sink in the Honey Lake Valley[3] in northeastern California, near the Nevada border. Summer evaporation reduces the lake to a lower level of 12 square kilometers (3,000 acres) and creates an alkali flat.[citation needed] Honey Lake dries almost completely in most years.[4]
