==Origin of name==
In 1970, Dan Pence, District Forest Ranger of Challis National Forest submitted a USDA Forest Service Form FS-7100-48 titled "Proposal of Name for an Unnamed Domestic Feature", in which it was proposed that this lake be named "Scoop Lake". Under the section titled "Description and extent of feature," Pence wrote, "A glacier obviously spilled down from the lake above, scooped this lake out of solid rock in the area, and moved on to form lakes below." Under the section titled "If the name is descriptive, state why it is appropriate," Pence wrote, "For apparent glacial action forming the lake." The name was made official when the United States Board on Geographic Names approved it on January 9, 1973.
