Angel Lake is a glacial tarn in the northern part of the East Humboldt Range, in central Elko County in the northeastern part of the state of Nevada. It is located an elevation of 2,554 m. It has an area of approximately 5.3 hectares, and a depth of up to 8.8 m. Located at the base of a steep cirque, the lake is surrounded by high cliffs. Greys Peak (3,253 m) rises high to the west, and to the south is a group of pinnacles known as Chimney Rock.
Angel Lake is one of the most popular recreation sites in the area. It is available for fishing and non-motorized rafts. A paved trailhead provides access for routes to nearby Smith Lake and to the more distant Greys Lake.
