About Tinemaha Reservoir

Tinemaha Reservoir invites visitors to enjoy a spacious, tranquil setting in Inyo County, California. This reservoir covers a broad surface area, offering plenty of room to explore and relax. Despite its size, the water remains quite shallow, which shapes the character of this water body and influences the overall experience. Situated near the town of Big Pine, the reservoir provides a quiet escape for those looking to connect with nature. The shallow depth means the water warms quickly and supports a different aquatic environment compared to deeper lakes. This makes it a unique destination within the California landscape, especially for those who appreciate wide-open water and calm surroundings.
