The lake is named after Chief Cameahwait, a leader of the Shoshone tribe who aided the Lewis and Clark expedition in the early 1800s. The lake is a popular spot for fishing, boating, and camping, and offers scenic views of the surrounding Wind River Range. The lake also serves as a source of irrigation and provides hydroelectric power to the regional power grid.
