Tahkenitch Lake (tak' ə nich),[4] at 2,118 acres (857 ha), is one of the larger lakes along the coast of the U.S. state of Oregon.[3] Fed by runoff from a basin of about 34 square miles (88 km2),[3] it lies east of U.S. Route 101 in Douglas County between Florence and Reedsport.[5] Its name comes from a Lower Umpqua (Siuslaw) placename meaning "having arms running out like a crab".[4]
