Lake Tahoe, California and Nevada

Lake Tahoe is one of the most beautiful lakes in the United States, situated on the state line between California and Nevada and surrounded by the Sierra Nevada Mountains' snowcapped peaks. With a depth of 1,645 feet, it is the second deepest alpine lake in North America. It's also crystal clear, with visibility reaching 70 feet in some parts and a beautiful fusion of blue colors that change with the weather and the lake's location.

Whether you want to float on fresh powder in the Sierra, go on a family adventure, or just relax and enjoy a night of comfort and luxury, Lake Tahoe has it all. Lake Tahoe attracts sunbathers in the summer, even though the water is cold all year. Skiing in the mountains is available in the winter, with panoramic lake views from the runs. Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park, on the Nevada side of the lake, features hiking paths and Sand Harbor Beach.
