About Cartago

Set along the southern shore of Owens Lake off Highway 395, Cartago is a quiet Inyo County community framed by the Eastern Sierra. Back in the 1870s, it served as a busy lakeport where steamboats ferried silver across the water from the Cerro Gordo mines. Today, the area offers a peaceful high-desert lifestyle with big open skies and mountain views in every direction. Nature is right outside the door, with the nearby Cartago Wildlife Area protecting freshwater springs and wetlands that draw migrating birds year-round.
