Lake Avenue is a major north–south feeder road for the communities of Pasadena and Altadena in Los Angeles County, California. The road was developed in the mid-19th century and takes its name from a lake that was located at its southernmost end known variously as Mission Lake, Kewen Lake, and Wilson Lake, reflecting different owners of the land.
The lake bed still exists as a municipal park (Lacy Park) in the City of San Marino just south of the Raymond Dike, but it holds no water. It has been surrounded by residences who are served by a crisscross set of roads that dip into the edges of impression and back out the other side.
