Today, Tenaya Lake is easily accessible by State Route 120 and is a popular lake for water activities. ==History== Tenaya Lake is named after Chief Tenaya, who met the Mariposa Brigade near the shores of the lake. Tenaya protested that the lake already had a name: ''Pie-we-ack'', or "Lake of the Shining Rocks." This original name is now attached to a granite dome to the east of the lake. As part of the 1864 Yosemite grant, the area became the first park land to be federally protected for preservation and public use. Yosemite became a national park in 1916 with the advent of the National Park Service. In 1868, John Muir wrote about the Tenaya Lake's beauty and timelessness in ''My First Summer in the Sierra''.
