Lake View Terrace is a suburban neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley region of the City of Los Angeles, California.

In 1939 the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers seized the horse ranch's land via eminent domain to build a dam due to occurrences of flooding in the northeast and southeast portions of the San Fernando Valley.

The residents, led by the Tujunga Watershed Council, fought many battles to preserve the atmosphere of Lake View Terrace.

In November 2003 the residents persuaded the Regional Water Quality Control Board to order the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to remove construction debris from lakes in the Hansen Dam area.
