Todacheene Lake (Navajo: tó dích'íi'nii, meaning "bitter water"[1]) is a small lake in the crater of the Narbona Pass volcano, in San Juan County, New Mexico, within the Navajo Nation.

The lake has been stocked with rainbow trout.[2] Todacheene Lake and Aspen, Berland and Toadlena lakes are designated for recreational use in the Shiprock area.[3] There is a relatively easy cross-country ski trail along an old dirt road in the crater from BIA32 to Todacheene Lake, a 3 miles (4.8 km) round trip with a vertical gain of 200 feet (61 m).[4] The nearest populated place is Crystal, New Mexico, about 6.5 miles (10.5 km) from the lake to the west of the pass.[5]
