Peck Road Water Conservation Park is a stunning 180-acre former alluvial pebble quarry located within a dense area of unincorporated East Los Angeles County. Peck features a sweeping view of the San Gabriel Mountains and a double lake that was formed as a shallow spreading basin when the Army Corps channeled the San Gabriel and Rio Hondo Rivers and later deepened by the quarrying process. This urban site is a microcosm of our LA Basin urban watershed in terms of water resources: stormwater and municipal water supply management, active transportation, access to outdoor recreation opportunities, and habitat protection.
