Tioga Lake is a small glacial lake in the Inyo National Forest of Mono County, California, about two miles (3 km) north of the Tioga Pass entrance to Yosemite National Park on State Route 120. The lake offers spectacular views, trails, as well as trout fishing, a picnic area, and a 13-site managed campground. Because of its inaccessibility, the region is popular with campers who want to avoid the crowds of Yosemite, photographers, anglers, and nature lovers in general. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tioga_Lake
