Hughes Lake is a sag pond on the San Andreas Fault in the northern Sierra Pelona Mountains, in Los Angeles County, California. At times the lake goes completely dry for years, as its water supply depends on local winter rain and snowmelt. Neighboring Elizabeth Lake also has a history of going dry and refilling.
