Tips
Nestled between giant granite domes and the clear skies of the Sierra Nevada, Tenaya Lake is the largest lake in Yosemite's frontcountry. Due to its remarkable scenic qualities, inviting blue waters, and proximity to Tioga Road, Tenaya Lake is one of the most popular destinations for summer visitors to Yosemite. It is very popular for picnicking, swimming, and canoeing. Tenaya Lake was named after Chief Tenaya, the last chief of the Yosemite Indians.
