The lake is located at the head of Hennen Canyon, at approximately {{coord|40|38.1|N|115|29.2|W|region:US_type:waterbody}}, and at an elevation of 9222 feet (2811 meters). It has an area of approximately 17 acres (7 hectares), and a depth of up to 20 feet (6 meters). Griswold Lake is the principal source of Butterfield Creek, which flows down Hennen Canyon before exiting the mountains into Pleasant Valley. The lake is named after Chauncy "Chan" Griswold, an early rancher in Pleasant Valley and the father of Nevada Governor Morley Griswold. Butterfield Creek was also named after an early rancher, Henry Butterfield. {{Clear}}References1. ^{{cite gnis|859913|Griswold Lake, Nevada}} {{Commons category|Griswold Lake (Nevada)}}{{nevada-geo-stub}} 5 : Ruby Mountains|Lakes of Nevada|Lakes of Elko County, Nevada|Lakes of the Great Basin|Humboldt–Toiyabe National Forest |
