Tenaya Lake is at elevation
8,150
feet (2,480 meters). The lake is shallow near the East Beach, and
while the water is cold, it's worth going
in. According to an article
by Kris Corey (>),
Tenaya
Lake goes to a depth of about 100 feet. There used to be a High
Sierra Camp at the lake; it was closed in 1938 and a replacement
established at May Lake. There was also a primitive campground at
the west end,
but it was closed in 1992. The views below, looking towards the
east, show Pywiack Dome (8,851 feet) beyond the end of the lake and
Polly Dome (9,806 feet) more in the front. See also: Tenaya Lake
