Tomyhoi Lake is a lake located in the Mount Baker Wilderness, in Whatcom County, Washington. It is between Tomyhoi Peak, Yellow Aster Butte, and Mount Larrabee, just south of the Canada–United States border.
Access is via Tomyhoi Lake Trail, from FR-3065 (Twin Lakes Road), although due to avalanche debris and downed trees the last half-mile of the trail to the shores of the lake is more difficult than the rest.
The lake was formed by a landslide dam. The water quality of the lake is considered very clear.
