Upper Togiak Lake

 

Description

Upper Togiak Lake (59.86°N, 159.35°W) is located at 92 m asl in the northeastern Ahklun Mountains, Alaska. The lake is a 3.2 km2, divided into two main basins isolated from one another by a prograding delta situated at the east-central region of the lake (bathymetric map from US Fish and Wildlife Service). The south basin is 54 m deep and the north basin is 67 m deep. A land area of 125 km2 drains into the north basin and approximately and 3% of that land area is covered by small glaciers. The majority of water and sediment is delivered to the north basin of Upper Togiak Lake from a channel located on the east-central delta (Upper Togiak Inflow); a secondary inflow is located at the north end of the lake.
