Superior Lake is a dry lake basin in the Mojave Desert of San Bernardino County, California, 40 km (25 mi) north of Barstow. The lake is made up of three basins, approximately 15 km (9.3 mi) long and 6 km (3.7 mi) at its widest point. Through the Holocene, this three-lake system was one body of water.
