Manly Lake has reappeared in the area 500 kilometers northeast of Los Angeles, on the border between the States of California and Nevada. The lake body has formed in the Badwater basin, located 86 meters below sea level, the lowest point in North America.

The Manly is now almost 10 kilometers long and 4.8 kilometers long, but it is only 30 centimeters deep. The water has been carried by the Amargosa River, which has flowed to the south of the basin thanks to the constant rains of the last year.
