The lake bed is alongside State Route 120 in the Sierra Nevada mountains of northern California. HistoryUnlike most passes through the Sierra which named for an individual, "tioga" is an Iroquois word, meaning "where it forks" or "swift current". However, Tioga County, New York is the namesake for the lake.[1] The area is believed to have been settled as early as 10,000 years ago by California indigenous peoples. John Muir was among the first Americans to see the area. The next major interest came from the mining and logging industries. RecreationThe lake offers trout fishing, a picnic area, and a 13-site managed campground. Some of the wildlife in the area are brave enough to approach humans, especially birds and marmots. Occasionally a bobcat or bighorn sheep can be seen, although the latter are particularly shy. Because of its inaccessibility, the region and Tioga Lake itself are popular with campers who want to avoid the crowds of Yosemite, photographers, anglers, and nature lovers in general. Birds of prey are more common here, making Tioga Lake and its surroundings popular with bird watchers. Because of the altitude and its location at the crest of a major pass, the weather is extremely unpredictable, and the length of the seasons varies from year to year. {{clear}}See also
