The lake is believed to be spring fed and bears the distinction of being the only natural lake in Orange County, California that contains water year round.[2][3] This lake is named in recognition of local conservationist Barbara Rabinowitsh who worked to keep the area from being developed.[4]
Recreation opportunities include hiking and bird watching but no use of watercraft, fishing, or swimming is allowed in Barbara's Lake.
