History
The lake has been known by several names, including Salt Lake in 1838, Tonowama, and Lake Harney.
Despite a history of 9,000 years of human inhabitation on Harney Lake by the Northern Paiute Indians primarily as nomadic wintering camps, little sign of modern human habitation is evident on Harney Lake. The nearest residents live in the community of Narrows.
