The pond is fed by stormwater[5] and natural springs; water flows out of the pond to the aquifer at Raymond Fault, and on to the Rio Hondo.[citation needed] Baldwin Lake is part of the Los Angeles River watershed.
The area of the pond is about 4 acres (1.6 ha).[4] Silt and pollutants embedded in the pond by surface runoff have reduced its depth from about 12 feet (3.7 m) to 30 inches (760 mm).[4][6]
