Jenkinson Lake is a reservoir located in El Dorado County, California near Pollock Pines, California named after Walter E. Jenkinson, manager of the El Dorado irrigation district.
There are two main parts, the upper and lower lake. The lower lake is about eight times larger than the upper lake, which is to the northeast of its partner. The lower lake is more of a rounded body, while the upper is more narrow.
In the upper eastern area of the upper lake lies a large inlet, which can be traced to a waterfall.
The Sly Park Dam can be found to the southern part of the lake, and an auxiliary dam can be found to the southeast.
