SW base of Siniktanneyak Mountain, 10 mi. NW of Feniak Lake and 48 mi. WNW of Howard Pass, Brooks Range. 3 miles long.
Probably named in the 1940's by wolf hunters. The Eskimo name obtained by Orth in 1956 is "Tupichalik," meaning "new tent," a reference to the dry gravel beach along the lake's shore that has been used for camping purposes since man has been in the area.
