Tioga Lake, Glacial reservoir in Mono County, United States
Located at an elevation of 2938 meters, Tioga Lake rests within the Inyo National Forest, two miles north of the Yosemite National Park entrance.
The name Tioga originates from an Iroquois term indicating a place where water forks or flows with swift currents in the mountains.
Archaeological findings reveal that indigenous communities inhabited the Tioga Lake region for approximately 10,000 years before European settlement.
The lake features a 13-site campground, offering facilities for tent camping, fishing activities, and picnicking along the Sierra Nevada mountain range.
The lake experiences frost conditions even during summer months due to its high elevation, creating specific environmental patterns for local wildlife.
