Lake Tahoe
Geography
Rocky terrain is highlighted by a recent snow on U.S. Highway 50 southwest of South Lake Tahoe.
Lake Tahoe is the second deepest lake in the U.S., with a maximum depth of 1645 feet (501 m), trailing only Oregon Crater Lake ft to 1949 (594 m). Tahoe is also the 16th deepest lake in the World, and the fifth deepest in average depth. It is about 22 miles (35 km) long and 12 miles (19 km) wide and has 72 miles (116 km) of coastline and an area of 191 square miles (490 km2). Washoe Indians used the lake. About two-thirds of the coast in California. The south coast is shaped by the sea, the largest city of South Lake Tahoe, California, which borders the town of Stateline, Nevada, while Tahoe City, California, is located on the northwest shore of the lake. Although highways run Visibility in the lake for much of Tahoe's perimeter, many important parts of the shoreline now lie within state parks or by the United States Forest Service protected.
The lake is located in parts of two counties in California and three in Nevada. According to the Census Bureau, it has an area of 496.210 km (191.588 sq mi) distributed these five counties in the given percentages:
Placer County, California (40.961%)
El Dorado County, California (28.626%)
Douglas County, Nevada (13.207%)
Washoe County, Nevada (10.955%)
Carson City, Nevada (6.251%)
Natural history
Geology
Lake Tahoe from space
The Lake Tahoe Basin was a geologic block (normal) faults formed. A geological fault block is a break in the crust of the earth causes Blocks of land up or down move. Uplifted blocks created the Carson Range to the east and the Sierra Nevada in the west. Down-covered blocks (a ditch) created the Lake Tahoe Basin in between.
More technically, Lake Tahoe is the youngest of several extensional basins of the Walker Lane Deformation Belt that almost 12 mm / yr of dextral shear between the Sierra Nevada microplate and North America is home. The Lake Tahoe basin is a series of large down-to-the-east deportations, including the West Point Tahoeollar debt Stateline / North Tahoe fault and the fault of Incline Village was founded. These right-stepping en-echelon faults are capable of great strength paleoquake 7 earthquake, with the recent M7 Ft (~ 1500 AD) on the errors Incline Village with just under 9.7 (3.0 m) of vertical offset. The West Tahoe-Dollar Point fault (WTDPF) seems the most active and potentially dangerous fault in the basin. A study in the Fallen Leaf Lake, south of Lake Tahoe, seabed mapping techniques used to gather evidence for paleoearthquakes Image on the WTDPF and revealed the last earthquake occurred between 4.100 to 4.500 years.
Some of the highest peaks of the Lake Tahoe Basin, that during the process of Creation of Lake Tahoe are formed Freel Peak at 10,891 feet (3320 m), Monument Peak at 10,067 feet (3068 m), Pyramid Peak at 9983 feet (3043 meters) (in the Desolation Wilderness), and Mount Tallac at 9735 feet (2967 m).
Eruptions from the extinct volcano Mount Pluto formed a dam on the north side. Melting snow filled the southern and the lowest part of the basin to the ancestral Lake Tahoe form. Rain and runoff added additional water.
Modern Lake Tahoe was shaped and landscaped by scouring Glaciers during the ice ages that began a million or more years. Lake Tahoe is fed from 63 tributaries to the Truckee River as the only outlet. The Truckee flows into northeast through Reno, Nevada and Pyramid Lake, Nevada, which has no outlet.
Bottom of the basin is primarily from andesitic volcanic rocks and granodiorite come with smaller areas of metamorphic rock. Some of the valleys and lower mountain slopes are covered with glacial moraines, or glacier Sander material derived from the bedrock mantled. Cryopsamments, Cryumbrepts, Rockland, see rocks and rubble and stony colluvium account for more than 70% of land area in the basin (U.S. Soil Taxonomy). The basin soils (In the <2 mm fraction) is generally 65-85% sand (0.052.0 mm).
Given the great depth of Lake Tahoe, and the locations of deportations in the deepest parts of the lake, modeling suggests that earthquakes can trigger this error tsunamis. Wave heights from tsunamis are expected from these in the order of 10 to 33 ft (3-10 m) in height, will be able to be traversing the lake in just a few minutes. A massive collapse of the western edge of the basin that McKinney Bay around 50,000 years formed is assumed generated tsunami / Seiche wave approaching with a height have 330 ft (100 m).
Climate

Average annual precipitation ranges from more than 55 years (1,400 mm) in watersheds on the west side of the pelvis on 26 inches (660 mm) in the vicinity of the lake on the east side of the basin. Most of the precipitation falls as snow from November to April, when fast and heavy rain Snow melt it combines the largest floods. There is a pronounced annual runoff of snowmelt in late spring and early summer, the timing, which varies from year to year. In a few years to bring summer monsoon storms from the Great Basin, heavy rainfall, especially at high altitudes on the east side of Basin.
August is normally the warmest month in the Lake Tahoe Airport (altitude 6254 ft (1906 m)) with an average maximum of 78.7 F (25.9 C) and a mean minimum of 39.8 F (4.3 C). January is the coldest month with an average maximum of 41.0 F (5.0 C) and an average minimum of 15.1 F (-9.4 C). The all-time maximum 99 F (37.2 C) was on 22 Recorded in July 1988. The all-time minimum of -29 F (-33.9 C) was on 9 Recorded in December 1972 and 7 February 1989. Temperatures about 90 F (32.2 C) to an average of 2.0 days per year. Minimum temperatures of 32 F (0 C) or less occur annually on an average of 231.8 days, and the Minimum temperatures of 0 F (-17.8 C) or lower occur on an average 7.6 days per year. Freezing temperatures have occurred every month of the year.
Ecology
Salmon (Oncorhyncus nerka jump) Beaver Dam
Vegetation in the basin is through a mixed conifer forests of Jeffrey pine (Pinus jeffreyi dominated), lodgepole pine (P. contorta), fir (Abies concolor) and red fir (A. magnifica). The basin also contains important wetlands and areas of states bordering areas, dry meadows, fields Brush (with Arctostaphylos and Ceanothus) and rocky areas, especially at higher altitudes. Ceanothus is capable of fixing nitrogen, but mountain alder (Alnus tenuifolia), which along of the many growing pool streams, springs and seeps fixes far greater quantities, and contributes measurably to nitrate-N concentrations in some small streams.
Beaver (Castor canadensis) were once again in the Tahoe Basin from the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG), and led the U.S. Forest Service between 1934 and 1949. As descendants of not more than reached nine persons, 1987 beaver populations on the upper and the lower Truckee River, a density of 0.72 colonies (3.5 beavers had) per kilometer. At the present time have Beavers have been seen in Tahoe Keys, Meeks Creek near Meeks Bay on the west coast, and King's Beach on the north coast, have the descendants of the original nine beaver obviously the most hiked around Lake Tahoe. It has been shown that trout and salmon are free of beaver dams.

The human History
Native
The area around Lake Tahoe was originally inhabited by the Washoe tribe of Native Americans. Lake Tahoe was the center and heart of Washoe Indian territory, including the upper valleys of the Walker, Carson and Truckee Rivers. The English name for Lake Tahoe derives from the Washo dw, "lake".
Exploration
Lt. John C. Frmont was the first person of European descent to Lake Tahoe, while the second exploratory expedition, Fremont, 14 February to see. 1844th John Calhoun Johnson Sierra Explorer and founder of "Johnson's Cutoff" (now U.S. Route 50), was the first white man, Meeks Bay and from a hill above the lake he named Fallen Leaf Lake to see after his Indian guide. His first job in the West in public service, the implementation of the mail on snowshoes from Placerville to Nevada City, during which time he called the lake "Lake Bigler" in honor of Governor John Bigler of California third. In 1853 William Eddy, the Surveyor General of California, identified Lake Tahoe as Bigler. In 1862 the U.S. Department of the Interior for the first time the name Tahoe. Both names were until well into the next century. The lake does not get the formal and final designation as Lake Tahoe and 1945.
California and Nevada reached the compromise between Tahoe partition two, if a state was Nevada in 1864. With the state Line east of the approximate center line of the lake and then at 39 degrees north latitude, the border runs southeasterly towards the Colorado River.
Mining era
Boat on Lake Tahoe
After the discovery of gold in the South Fork of the American River in 1848, thousands of prospectors to the West were in the vicinity of the basin in the Way to the gold fields. European civilization first his tracks in the Lake Tahoe basin in 1858 with the discovery of the Comstock Lode, a silver deposit just 15 miles (24 km) in the East in Virginia City, Nevada. fed from 1858 to 1890, logging in the basin large timber for the support of the underground workings of the Comstock mines. Logging was so extensive logging that hit almost all the native forest. In 1864, Tahoe City was a resort community for Virginia City, the first recognition of the pelvis Founded as a potential destination resort area.
Development
Public appreciation of the Tahoe basin grew, and during the years 1912, 1913, and 1918 congressional sessions, unsuccessfully tried to members of Congress designate the basin as a national park.
While Lake Tahoe is a natural lake, but also for water storage by the Truckee-Carson Irrigation District (KID) is used. The lake level is controlled by a dam in 1913, the lake is built only outlet, the Truckee River, at Tahoe City. The 18-foot (5.5 m) high dam of the lake may increase the capacity of acreft 744 600 (0.9185 km3).
During the first half of the 20th Century, development around the lake consisted of a few vacation homes. The post World War II population and building boom, the construction of casinos in Nevada followed part of the basin during the mid-1950s, and completion of the Interstate highway links for the 1960 Winter Olympics in Squaw Valley, instead, led to a dramatic increase in development within the basin. Of 1960 to 1980, the permanent resident population increased from about 10,000 to more than 50,000, and the summer population grew from about 10,000 to about 90,000. Since the 1980s the development slowed down by the controls on land use.
Government and Politics
Lake Tahoe is located within the borders of both California and Nevada, and as such is controlled by any single agency. In California, Lake Tahoe is divided between Placer County and El Dorado County. In Nevada's Lake Tahoe in Washoe County, Douglas County and Carson divided City (an independent city).
The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) is a bi-state compact between California and Nevada, which is charged with the protection of the environment Lake Tahoe Basin through land-use regulation and planning.
Mansions
Lake Tahoe is also the site of several 19th and 20 Century palatial homes of historical importance. The Thunderbird Lodge built by George Whittel Jr once contained nearly 27 miles from the coastline Nevada. Vikingsholm, the original settlement at Emerald Bay and include an island Tea house and a 38-room home. The Ehrman Mansion is a summer house of a former president of Wells Fargo in Sugar Pine Point built and is now a State Park
Environmental Issues
Water quality
Secret Beach on Lake Tahoe in Nevada page
Despite the planning and export of treated sewage from the basin, the lake is still eutrophic (With an excessive richness of nutrients), with primary productivity increased annually by more than 5%, and decreasing clarity with an average Rate of 0.25 meters per year. Until the early 1980s, nutrient limitation studies showed that primary productivity in the lake was nitrogen-limited. Now, after half a Century of accelerated nitrogen input (much of it from the direct atmospheric deposition), is limited to the lake phosphorus.
Test results over the last eight years have shown a stabilization in lake clarity of Lake Tahoe Research Group announced in March 2009th Fine sediment, much of it from land disturbance in the basin, about half of the loss in clarity. Charles Goldman of UC Davis was directly responsible for the invited officials Tahoe all waste water from the river basin in the Tahoe was Pump strongly developed in the 1950s. Goldman made local officials understand that even treated sewage would greatly affect the quality of water Lake Tahoe.
Lake Tahoe is a tributary watershed drainage element within the Truckee River Basin, and its only outlet is the Truckee River, which continues to discharge Pyramid Lake. Due the sensitivity of Truckee River water quality (with two protected species, the cui-ui sucker fish and the Lahontan cutthroat trout), this basin has been extensively investigated. The primary investigations were stimulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which funded the development of DSSAM model to the water quality in Lake Tahoe to analyze.
Lake Tahoe never freezes. Since 1970 there has until blended ft to a depth of at least 1,300 (400 m) with a total of six or seven times. Dissolved oxygen is relatively high from top to bottom. The analysis of the records of temperature in Lake Tahoe has shown that the lake warmed (1969-2002) with an average rate of 0.015 C per year. The warming is to be primarily due to the increase in air temperature, and caused secondarily by the increase in downward longwave radiation. The Warming trend is to reduce the incidence of deep mixing in the lake, and may have important effects on water clarity and nutrient cycling have.
Changes in the ecosystem
Since the 1960s, the Lake's food web and have undergone great changes zooplankton populations. In 196 365, Opossum shrimp (Mysis relicta) were introduced to the food supply for the improvement of the imported Kokanee salmon (Onchorhynchus nerka). The shrimp eat began, the lake disappeared cladocerans (Daphnia and Bosmina), and its population by 1971 almost. The shrimp provide a food resource for salmon and trout, but also compete with juvenile fish for zooplankton. Since the 1970s, the cladoceran populations have recovered somewhat, but not original level.
In June 2007, the fire burned about 3,100 acres of Angora (1,300 ha) in the entire region of South Lake Tahoe. While the impact is of the ashes on the lake's ecosystem expected to be minimal be, yet the impact of possible future erosion known.
Environmental Protection
Until recently, building on the banks of the lake, largely under the control of the rich Real estate developer. construction activity has resulted in a blue haze of the lake waters. Currently, the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency's regulatory construction along the coastline. (And won two fights in recent federal court decisions). These regulations are unpopular with many residents, particularly in the Tahoe Lakefront Homeowners Association. [Edit]
Emerald Bay, Lake Tahoe
The League to Save Lake Tahoe (Keep Tahoe Blue) has been the public interest watchdog in the Lake Tahoe Basin for 50 years. Founded as A proposal for a four-lane highway around the proposed lakeith a bridge over the entrance to the Emerald Bayas in 1957 to build, has frustrated the league poorly designed Development projects and environmentally unsound planning. Currently evaluating the "Pathways 2007" comprehensive plan developed by TRPA, the League includes responsible and diversified Use of the lake resources while protecting and restoring its natural attributes.
Since 1980, the Lake Tahoe Interagency Monitoring Program (LTIMP) was Measuring stream discharge and concentration of nutrients and sediment in up to 10 tributaries in the Lake Tahoe Basin Streams, California, Nevada. The objectives of the LTIMP are to acquire and To spread support of the necessary water quality information on science-based environmental planning and decision-making processes in the basin. The LTIMP is a common Program with the support of 12 federal and state agencies with interests in the Tahoe Basin. This data set, together with more recently acquired data on urban Runoff water, is used by the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board, a program (on behalf of the Clean Water Act to develop) for limiting the flow of nutrients and fine sediments of the lake.
Tourist Activities
Much of the area of Lake Tahoe is devoted to the tourism industry and there are many restaurants, ski slopes and casinos catering to visitors.
Winter sports
Slopes overlooking Lake Tahoe
Lake Tahoe Gondola Ride
During ski season, thousands of people from throughout Nevada and California, including Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco flock to the slopes for downhill skiing. Lake Tahoe, plus panoramic views to its beauty, is known for its blizzards known.
Some of the major ski areas in Tahoe includes:
Heavenly Mountain Resort: the largest ski area in California and Nevada, located near State Line

Mount Rose Ski Resort: a medium-sized Ski area northeast of the lake, on Slide Mountain
The majority of ski resorts in the Lake Tahoe region on the northern end of the lake, near Truckee, California and Reno, Nevada. Kirkwood, Sierra-at-Tahoe and Heavenly are on the south side of the lake, about 80 miles (129 km) from Reno. It is for visitors in these three ski resorts during their stay joint venture is not in the Southern Lake Tahoe and the northern seaside resorts (Squaw Valley, Northstar at Tahoe, Sugar Bowl, etc.).
Scattered throughout Tahoe are public carriage and private parks. Some, like Granlibakken are equipped with rope tows to get help Rodler the hillside.
Many ski resorts around Tahoe and snow tubing, such as Squaw Valley. Tubing is among people who are interested in alternative sports are very popular. While Tahoe, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and are also very popular, Therefore, there are many ways for them.
Water Sports
In late spring to early autumn, the lake is popular for water sports and beach activities. The two cities with most of the Lake Tahoe tourist area identified South Lake Tahoe, California and are in the smaller Stateline, smaller centers on the northern coastline Tahoe City and Kings Beach.
Boating is a primary activity in Tahoe in the summer. There are all the restaurants on the lake across the lake, most equipped with docks and buoys (See the restaurants). There are all kinds of boating events, such as sailboat racing, firework shows over the lake, guided tours and much more. As Interstate Waterway, Lake Tahoe is subject to the United States Coast Guard. Lake Tahoe is home to Coast Guard Station Lake Tahoe.
SCUBA diving is popular at Lake Tahoe, with some Dive sites offer a dramatic drop-offs or cliffs. Diving at Lake Tahoe is as Advanced because of the increased risk of decompression sickness (DCS) during dives in such a height.
Hiking and biking
View from the Tahoe Rim Trail
There are hundreds of hiking and Mountain Bike trails around the lake. They range in length, Difficulty and popularity. One of the most famous hiking trails is the Tahoe's Tahoe Rim Trail, a 165 mile (270 km) road that circles the lake. Directly to the west of the lake Granite Chief Wilderness is, the great hiking and camping offers in the wilderness. Also in the southwest that is very popular Desolation Wilderness. One of the most popular starting points is the Eagle Lake Trail Head. There are some paved Off-Road Bike paths.

Visitor Lake Tahoe can achieve under ideal conditions within 2 hours from the Sacramento area, 1 hour from Reno or 30 minutes from Carson City. In the winter months, chains or snow tires are often necessary to Tahoe to reach from all directions. Traffic can on the weekend because of the tourists, difficult if not from weather.
The primary routes to Lake Tahoe on the Interstate 80 through Truckee, U.S. Highway 50 and Highway 431 on Nevada, Reno. Most highways access and encircling Lake Tahoe are paved two-lane mountain Streets. US-50 is a four-lane highway passing south of the lake and along the eastern coast.
California Highway 89 follows the west bank of the lake through the picturesque Combines wilderness and camping, fishing and hiking locations such as those in Emerald Bay State Park, DL Bliss State Park and Camp Richardson. Further along are communities such as Meeks Bay and Tahoe City. Finally, apply the highway from the lake and heads northwest toward Truckee.
California Highway 28 closes the circuit of Tahoe City around the northern Shore to communities such as Kings Beach, Crystal Bay and Incline Village, Nevada, where the road becomes Nevada Highway 28th Highway 28 provides along the eastern coast of the U.S. Highway 50 near Spooner Lake.
In the Media
The Ponderosa Ranch of the TV series Bonanza was formerly located on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe. The opening credits of the TV series was on the Meadow McFaul Creek filmed, with Mount Tallac in the background. In September 2004, the Ponderosa Ranch closed its doors, having to developer David Duffield for an undisclosed price sold.
In the movie "The Godfather II, the Corleone family lived in a compound on the banks of the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe. In a famous scene from the last minutes the film is out on Fredo Corleone taken the lake for a fishing trip that run only for treason on the orders of his brother Michael (Al Pacino), who from the shore observed from. The house and grounds are presented in the film actually is on the side of Lake Tahoe, California: Fleur du Lac, the summer home of the Henry J. Kaiser. The only structures used in the film that remain are the complex of old native stone boathouses with their wrought-iron gates. Although Fleur du Lac is privately owned and no one is allowed to land there, the boathouses and multi-million-dollar condos are easily seen from the lake.
Most of the movie Smoking Aces was in South Lake Tahoe and Stateline filmed. Many of the hotels and casinos are visible in the movie with their older name. The climax scenes of the 1987 Charles Bronson film assassination were around and on Lake Tahoe filmed. Tahoe prominently in the plot of the classic noir of the past. Both the Bodyguard and City of Angels filmed climax scenes and around Lake Tahoe and the Fallen Leaf Lake nearby (California). Meg Ryan's biking scene prominently features Lake Tahoe in the background.
The British TV show Top Gear filmed at Lake Tahoe in Episode 2 of Series 12 in 2008.
