North Tenmile Lake is one of a chain of lakes along the Oregon Coast south of the Umpqua River in the United States. The chain includes Tenmile, Eel, Clear, and smaller lakes, which drain into the Pacific Ocean via Tenmile Creek. North Tenmile Lake is connected to Tenmile Lake by a navigable channel. North Tenmile Lake is named after the creek, which is about 16 km south of Winchester Bay. North Tenmile Lake and Tenmile Lake combined have been called "a premier largemouth bass fishery." In addition to largemouth bass, the shallow dendritic lakes with their complicated shorelines support populations of brown bullhead, bluegill, black crappie, coastal cutthroat trout, and stocked rainbow trout.
