San Felipe Lake is a perennial natural lake located in the southern Santa Clara Valley, almost wholly in northern San Benito County with its western edge on the border with Santa Clara County, California.[2] The lake is a critical wetland, rare plant, and wildlife resource in need of additional conservation and enhancement.[3]

San Felipe Lake is the terminus of Pacheco Creek, which drains the western slope of California's Diablo Range. Its outflows once formed the beginning of the Pajaro River through a series of meandering sloughs and wetlands, but now flow through the Miller Canal, constructed in 1874, to the upper reaches of the river.[4] The Pajaro River, in turn, conveys its waters ultimately to Monterey Bay and the Pacific Ocean.
