Description:

Note: There is a Florence Lake in Yosemite. This is not it.

Named in 1896 for Florence Starr, sister of Walter H. Starr, who, with Allen L. Chickering and Theodore S. Solomons, camped here on a trip from Yosemite to Ockenden. (T. S. Solomons.)

The lake, enlarged by a dam, is now a reservoir of the Southern California Edison Company system.
