The river never actually flows through any of these lakes, but they each have drainage to the river via tributaries. The Santa Ana River bicycle path which, when complete, will run from the river's mouth at Huntington Beach to near the San Bernardino Mountains, currently extends about 30 miles (48 km) along the river to Prado Dam.
The river ended in the Uinta Basin [6] [b] and Lake Uinta in present-day Utah [7] roughly where the Green River exits the basin, [8] forming a river delta that today comprises the voluminous Colton Formation [3] and with its sediment covering an area of over 3,000 square kilometres (1,200 sq mi).

Examples of filled basins included the Los Angeles Basin, the Eel River Basin around Eureka or the 50,000 feet (15,000 m) thick sedimentary sequences of the Ventura Basin. The San Andreas Fault became perhaps most active after the Miocene, potentially resulting in up to 350 miles (560 km) of offset in some locations. [2] [3]
Tulare Lake was the largest of several lakes in its lower basin. Most of the Kern River's flow first went into Kern Lake and Buena Vista Lake via the Kern River and Kern River Slough southwest and south of the site of Bakersfield. If they overflowed, it was through the Kern River channel northwest through tule marshland and Goose Lake, into ...
Jack mackerel caught by a Chilean purse seiner Fishing down the food web. Overfishing is the removal of a species of fish (i.e. fishing) from a body of water at a rate greater than that the species can replenish its population naturally (i.e. the overexploitation of the fishery's existing fish stock), resulting in the species becoming increasingly underpopulated in that area.

Native Americans have inhabited the Santiago Creek and Santa Ana River watershed for up to 12,000 years. The creek was named by the Spanish Gaspar de Portolá expedition of 1769, which crossed the Santa Ana River near where it meets the Santiago Creek. [3] In the 1870s there was a short-lived silver boom along the tributary Silverado Creek.
Prado Dam is an earth-fill dry dam across the Santa Ana River at the Chino Hills near Corona, California in Riverside County with the resulting impounded water creating Prado Flood Control Basin reservoir. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built the dam in Lower Santa Ana River Canyon.
