Lake Tahoe
Geography
rocky terrain is highlighted by a recent snowfall in the U.S. Highway 50 southwest of South Lake Tahoe.
Lake Tahoe is the largest lake Deep seconds in the U.S., with a maximum depth of 1,645 feet (501 m), behind only Oregon's Crater Lake at 1949 feet (594 m). Tahoe is also 16th deepest lake in the world, and the deeper the fifth of average depth. It is 22 miles (35 kilometers) long and 12 miles (19 km) wide and 72 miles (116 km) of coastline and an area of 191 square miles (490 km2). Washoe Indians used the lake. Approximately two thirds of the shoreline is in California. The southern shore is dominated by the largest lake in the city, South Lake Tahoe, California, which borders the town of Stateline, Nevada, while Tahoe City, California is lake located in the Northwest. Although roads run to the view of the lake for much of Tahoe's perimeter, many important parts of the coast already located within state parks or are protected by United States Forest Service.
The lake lies in two counties in California and three in Nevada. By Census Bureau, has an area of 496,210 kilometers (191,588 miles square) distributed among the five counties in the percentages indicated:
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 formed by a geologic block (normal) faults. A geologic block fault is a fracture in the Earth's crust causing blocks of land to move up or down. uplifted blocks created the Carson Range in the east and the Sierra Nevada in the west. Down-dropped blocks (a graben) created the Lake Tahoe Basin in between.
More technically, Lake Tahoe is the youngest of several extensional basins of the Walker Lane Belt deformation that accommodates nearly 12 mm / yr of dextral shear between the Sierra Nevada microplate and North America. The basin Lake Tahoe is formed by a series of large normal faults down-to-this-, including failure Tahoeollar West Point, Stateline / North Tahoe fault and the Incline Village fault. The right steps in intensifying faults are capable of great magnitude 7 earthquake, with the latest paleoquake M7 (~ 1500 AD) occurring in the failure of Incline Village, with nearly 9.7 feet (3.0 m) of vertical offset. The West Tahoe-Dollar Point Failures (WTDPF) seems to be the most active and potentially dangerous faults in the basin. A study in Fallen Leaf Lake, just south of Lake Tahoe, use seabed mapping techniques for imaging tests to paleoearthquakes in WTDPF and revealed the last earthquake took place between 4.100 to 4.500 years ago.
Some of the highest peaks in the Lake Tahoe Basin that formed during the process of creation of the lake Freel peak Tahoe 10 891 feet (3320 m), Monument Peak 10,067 ft (3,068 m), Pyramid Peak at 9983 feet (3043 m) (in the wilderness of Desolation) 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 lowest part of the basin to form the ancestral Lake Tahoe. Rain and runoff added additional water.
Modern Lake Tahoe was shaped and landscaped by scouring glaciers during Ice Age, which began a million years or more. Lake Tahoe is fed by 63 tributaries to the Truckee River as the only way out. The Truckee flows towards northeast through Reno, Nevada and Pyramid Lake, Nevada, which has no outlet.
The soils of the basin come primarily from andesitic volcanic rocks and granodiorite, with minor areas of metamorphic rock. Some of the valley bottoms and mountain slopes are lower in the mantle glacial moraines, or glacial outwash material derived of the bedrock. Cryopsamments, Cryumbrepts, Rockland, rocky outcrops and rubble and stony colluvium account for over 70% of the area of land in the basin (see U.S. taxonomy the ground). The soils of the basin (in the <2 mm fraction) are generally 65-85% sand (0.052.0 mm).
Given the great depth of Lake Tahoe, and locations of normal faults within the deepest portions of the lake, the modeling suggests that earthquakes of these faults can trigger tsunamis. height these tsunami waves are expected to be the order of 10-33 feet (3-10 m) high, capable of crossing the lake in a few minutes. A massive collapse of the western shore of the basin that formed around McKinney Bay 50,000 years ago is believed to have generated tsunami / seiche wave with height approaching 330 feet (100 m).
Climate

The average annual precipitation ranges from more than 55 in (1,400 mm) in watersheds on the west side of the basin to 26 inches (660 mm), near the lake on the east side of the basin. Most of the precipitation falls as snow between November and April, although snowstorms rapid melting combined represent the largest floods. There is a pronounced annual runoff of snowmelt in late spring and early summer, the time varies from year to year. In some years, the summer monsoon storms of the Great Basin bring intense rainfall, especially at high altitudes on the side east of the basin.
August is usually the hottest month in the Lake Tahoe Airport (elevation 6.254 feet (1.906 m)), with an average maximum of 78.7 F (25.9 C) and a mean minimum of 39.8 F (4.3 C). In 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 maximum all-time 99 F (37.2 C) was recorded on July 22, 1988. The record low of -29 F (-33.9 C) was registered on December 9, 1972 and February 7, 1989. Temperatures exceed 90 ° F (32.2 C) an average of 2.0 days per year. Minimum temperatures of 32 F (0 C) or less is produced in an average of 231.8 days year and minimum temperatures of 0 ° F (-17.8 C) or less are produced in an average of 7.6 days per year. Freezing temperatures have occurred every months of the year.
Ecology
Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) Beaver Dam jumping
Vegetation in the basin is dominated by a mixed forest of conifers Jeffrey pine (Pinus jeffreyi), pine (P. contorta), white fir (Abies concolor) and red fir (A. magnified). The basin also contains significant areas of grassland humid coastal areas, dry meadows, brush fields (with Arctostaphylos and Ceanothus) and rock outcrop, especially at higher altitudes. Ceanothus is capable of fixing nitrogen, but mountain alder (Alnus tenuifolia), which grows along many streams in the watershed, springs and seeps, fixes far greater quantities, and contributes measurably to concentrations of nitrate-N in some small streams.
Beaver (Castor canadensis) were reintroduced to the Tahoe Basin by the Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) and the U.S. Forest Service between 1934 and 1949. Descendant of no more than nine individuals, populations of beaver in 1987 the top and bottom of the Truckee River had reached a density of 0.72 colonies (3.5 beavers) per kilometer. In the present beaver have been seen in Tahoe Keys, Meeks Meeks Creek Bay on the west coast and King Beach the north coast, so that the descendants of nine beavers have apparently migrated around most of Lake Tahoe. It has been shown that the trout and salmon move freely through beaver dams.

Human history
Native peoples
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 high valleys of the Walker Carson and the Truckee River. The English name for Lake Tahoe derives from the Washo dw "lake."
Exploration
Lieutenant John C. Was the first person Frmont of European descent to see Lake Tahoe during the second exploratory expedition of Fremont on 14 February. 1844. John Calhoun Johnson, explorer and founder of the Sierra "Court Johnson "(now U.S. Route 50), was the first white man to see Meeks Bay and up above the lake, called Fallen Leaf Lake after his Indian guide. His first job was in the west to government service, carrying the mail with snowshoes from Placerville to Nevada City, during which he named the lake "Lake Bigler" in honor of the Governor of California John Bigler third. In 1853 William Eddy, the surveyor general of California, identified Tahoe as Lake Bigler. In 1862 the Department of Interior U.S. first introduced the name Tahoe. Both names were used until well into the next century. The lake received its official and final designation as Lake Tahoe until 1945.
California and Nevada reached the compromise of partition between the Tahoe two, when it became a state of Nevada in 1864. With the status line east of the center line of the lake and then about 39 degrees north, the state border runs into southeast Colorado River.
Mining was
Ship in Lake Tahoe
After the discovery of gold in the South Fork American River in 1848, thousands of gold seekers heading west passed near the basin as a road to the gold fields. European civilization first made its mark in the Lake Tahoe 1858 with the discovery of the Comstock Lode, a silver deposit just 15 miles (24 km) east in Virginia City, Nevada. From 1858 until about 1890, logging in the basin supplied large timbers to shore up the underground work in Comstock mines. The record was so extensive that loggers cut down almost all native forests. In 1864, Tahoe City was founded as a resort community of Virginia City, the first recognition of the potential of the basin as a tourist destination area.
Development
public recognition of the Tahoe basin grew, and during the 1912, 1913, 1918 and sessions of Congress, lawmakers tried unsuccessfully to designate the basin as a national park.
While Lake Tahoe is a natural lake, also is used for storage of water by the Irrigation District Truckee-Carson (TCID). The lake level is controlled by a dam built in 1913 in the only way out of the lake, Truckee River in Tahoe City. The high dam 18 feet (5.5 m) can increase the capacity of the lake 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, followed by the construction of casinos playing in the Basin of Nevada in the mid-1950s, and the completion of Interstate links for the 1960 Winter Olympics held in Squaw Valley, resulted in a dramatic increase in development in the basin. From 1960 to 1980, the permanent residential population increased from 10,000 to more than 50,000, and Summer Population grew about 10,000 to about 90,000. Since the 1980s, development has slowed due to controls on land use.
Government and political
Lake Tahoe is located within the borders of California and Nevada, and as such is not regulated by any single entity. In California, Lake Tahoe is divided between Placer County and El Dorado County. In Nevada, Lake Tahoe is divided among Washoe County, Douglas County and Carson City (an independent city).
The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) is a bi-state agreement between California and Nevada, which is responsible for environmental protection of Lake Tahoe Basin through regulation of land use and planning.
Mansions
Lake Tahoe is also the location of several 19th and 20th century palatial homes of importance history. The Thunderbird Lodge built by George Whittel Jr once included almost 27 miles off the coast of Nevada. Vikingsholm was the original settlement in Emerald Bay and included a teahouse island and a 38-room home. Ehrman mansion is a summer house built by a former president of Wells Fargo at Sugar Pine Point and is now a state park.
The environmental issues
Water Quality
Secret Beach on the side of Lake Tahoe in Nevada
Although land use and export of waste water treated effluent from the basin, the lake is becoming increasingly eutrophic (with an excessive richness of nutrients), with further increases in primary productivity 5% annually, and the clarity decreases at an average rate of 0.25 meters per year. Until the 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 direct atmospheric deposition), the lake is phosphorus-limited.
Test results over the past eight years have shown a stabilization in the clarity of the lake, said Lake Tahoe Research Group in March 2009. fine sediment, largely as a result of soil disturbance in the basin, accounting for about half of the loss of clarity. Charles Goldman University of California Davis was directly responsible for Tahoe led authorities to pump sewage waste Tahoe Basin, as he was well developed in the 1950s. Goldman made local officials understand that the treated wastewater, even greatly affect the quality of water from Lake Tahoe.
Lake Tahoe basin is a drainage element in the Truckee River basin and its only outlet is the Truckee River, which continues to the management of Pyramid Lake. Due to the sensitivity the water quality of the Truckee River (including two protected species, the cui-ui sucker fish and Lahontan cutthroat trout), this basin has been studied extensively. Research primaries were stimulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which funded the development of DSSAM model to analyze water quality below Lake Tahoe.
Lake Tahoe never freezes. Since 1970, it has been mixed with a depth of at least 1,300 feet (400 m) a total of 6 or 7 times. Dissolved oxygen is relatively high, from top to bottom. The analysis of temperature records in Lake Tahoe Lake has shown that hot (between 1969 and 2002) at an average rate of 0.015 C per year. The warming is mainly caused by increased air temperature, and secondly by increasing the downward longwave radiation. The warming trend is reducing the frequency of the mixture deep in the lake, and may have important effects on water clarity and nutrient cycling.
Ecosystem changes
Since the 1960s, the food web of Lake and zooplankton populations have undergone major changes. In 196 365, opossum shrimp (Mysis relicta) were introduced to improve food supply for the submission Kokanee salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka). The shrimp began feeding on the lake cladocerans (Daphnia and Bosmina), and its population virtually disappeared in 1971. The shrimp provide a food resource for salmon and trout, but also compete with juvenile fish for zooplankton. Since the 1970s, populations cladocerans have recovered a little, but not to previous levels.
In June 2007, the Angora Fire burned about 3,100 acres (1,300 hectares) across the Southern area Lake Tahoe. While the impact of ash on the lake's ecosystem is expected to be minimal, the impact of potential future erosion is not known yet.
Protection Environment
Until recently, construction on the banks of the lake had been largely under the control of wealthy real estate developers. Activities construction have led to an opacity of the blue waters of the lake. Currently, the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency is to regulate construction along the coast. (Y has won two Federal Supreme Court battles over recent decisions). These regulations are unpopular with many residents, especially those on the shore of Lake Tahoe Owners Housing Association.

Emerald Bay, Lake Tahoe
The League to save Lake Tahoe (Keep Tahoe Blue) has been the watchdog of interest public in the Lake Tahoe Basin for 50 years. It was founded on a proposal to build a four-lane highway across the lakeith a bridge over the entrance of Emerald Berries proposed in 1957, the League has frustrated poorly designed development projects and environmentally sound planning. Currently evaluating the "Pathways 2007" plan being developed by TRPA, the League embraces responsible and diversified use of lake resources, while protecting and restoring its natural attributes.
Since 1980, Lake Tahoe Inter Monitoring Program (LTIMP) has been the measures stream discharge and concentrations of nutrients and sediment in up to 10 tributaries in the Lake Tahoe Basin, California and Nevada. The objectives of the LTIMP are to acquire and disseminate water quality information necessary to support planning based environmental science and decision making in the basin. The LTIMP is a cooperative program with the support of 12 state and federal agencies with interests in the Tahoe Basin. This dataset, along with recently acquired data on water quality, runoff is being used by the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board to develop a program (the mandate of the Clean Water Act) to limit the flow of nutrients and fine sediments in the lake.
Tourist activities
Much the area surrounding Lake Tahoe is devoted to the tourism industry and not many restaurants, ski slopes and casinos catering to visitors.
Winter Sports
Ski slopes overlooking Lake Tahoe
Lake Tahoe Gondola
During ski season, thousands of people from all over Nevada and California, including Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco, go to the slopes for downhill skiing. Lake Tahoe, in addition to its scenic beauty, is well known for its blizzards.
Some Tahoe ski areas include:
Heavenly Mountain Resort: the largest ski area in California and Nevada, located near Stateline
Squaw Valley: the largest ski Second, known for hosting the 1960 Winter Olympic Games, located near Tahoe City
Alpine Meadows: a ski area average size on the north coast a few miles from Squaw Valley
Diamond Peak: a small ski resort located in Incline Village, Nevada
Northstar at Tahoe one popular ski resort on the north coast
Kirkwood Mountain Resort: a beach resort south which is more snow than in any other ski resort in Tahoe
Sierra-at-Tahoe: a medium-sized enterprises south coast resorts
Boreal Mountain Resort: a small ski resort Donner Pass
Sugar Bowl Ski Resort, a ski area in Donner Pass medium
Donner Ski Ranch: a very small ski area in Donner Pass
Homewood Ski Resort: Ski area mid-sized West Coast
Monte Rosa Ski Resort: Ski area half the size of Lake northeast in Slide Mountain
Most ski resorts in the Lake Tahoe region are on the north end of the lake, near Truckee, California and Reno, Nevada. Kirkwood, Sierra-at-Tahoe and Heavenly are located on the south side of the lake, about 80 miles (129 km) from Reno. It is common for visitors to ski between these three stations stay in South Lake Tahoe and not venture to the northern lake stations (Squaw Valley, Northstar at Tahoe, Sugar Bowl, etc.).
Scattered throughout Tahoe are public sled and private parks. Some, like Granlibakken trailers are fitted with rope to help sledders up the hill.
Many ski areas around Tahoe also have snow tubing, such as Squaw Valley. Snow tubing is popular among people who are interested in alternative sports. Throughout Tahoe, Cross country skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing are also popular and therefore there are many trails for them.
Water Sports
During late spring through early fall, the lake is popular for water sports and beach activities. The two cities most identified with the Lake Tahoe tourist area are South Lake Tahoe, California and the smaller Stateline, smaller centers on the north coast are the Tahoe City and Kings Beach.
Boating is a major activity in Tahoe in the summer. There are lakefront restaurants around the lake, most equipped with docks and buoys (See the restaurant section). There are all kinds of navigation events such as sailboat racing, firework shows over the lake, guided cruises and more. As an interstate route, Lake Tahoe is subject to U.S. Coast Guard. Lake Tahoe is home to the Coast Guard Station Lake Tahoe.
SCUBA diving is very popular in Lake Tahoe, with some dive sites offering dramatic declines or dips wall. Diving in Lake Tahoe is considered advanced because of the increased risk of decompression sickness (DCS) while diving at a great height.
Hiking and biking
Tahoe Vista from the road ass
There are hundreds of hiking and mountain bike routes around the lake. They vary in length, difficulty, and popularity. One of the most famous trail is the path Tahoe Tahoe Basin, 165 a mile (270 km) trail that circumnavigates the lake. Directly west of the lake is the Granite Chief desert, which offers hiking and wilderness camping. In addition, the desert southwest of desolation is very popular. One of the most trailheads Eagle Lake is a popular trailhead. There are also several off-road paved bicycle paths.
Game

Roads
Visitors can reach Lake Tahoe in ideal conditions within 2 hours from the Sacramento area, 1 hour 30 minutes from Reno or Carson City. In the winter months, chains or snow tires are often necessary to get to Tahoe from any direction. Traffic can be heavy weekends due to tourists but also from the weather.
The primary routes to Lake Tahoe is on Interstate 80 through Truckee, USA Road 50, 431 and Nevada Highway through Reno. Most highway access and close Lake Tahoe are paved two-lane mountain roads. U.S. 50 is a four-lane highway passing south of the lake and along part of the east coast.
California Highway 89 follows the western shore of the lake through the picturesque desert and connects camping, fishing and hiking locations such as Emerald Bay State Park, DL Bliss State Park and Camp Richardson. Below are communities such as Meeks Bay and the city Tahoe. Finally, the road away from the lake and heads northwest of Truckee.
California Highway 28 complete the circuit of Tahoe City along the coast north communities such as Kings Beach, Crystal Bay and Incline Village, Nevada, where the road becomes Highway 28 in Nevada. Returns Highway 28 along the coast Eastern U.S. Highway 50 near Spooner Lake.
In the media
The Ponderosa Ranch television series Bonanza was formerly located on the side of Lake Tahoe Nevada. The opening sequence of the TV series was filmed on the Prairie McFaul Creek, with Mt Tallac in the background. In September 2004, the Ponderosa Ranch closed its doors, after being sold to developer David Duffield for an undisclosed price.
In the movie The Godfather Part II, the Corleone family lived in a complex along the side of Lake Tahoe Nevada. In a famous scene in the final minutes of the film, Fredo Corleone is brought to the lake for a fishing trip, only to be executed for treason, by order of his brother Michael (Al Pacino), who watches from the shore. The house and land portrayed in the film are actually located on the side of Lake Tahoe in California: Fleur du Lac, the summer estate of Henry J. Kaiser. The structures will only be used in the film that remain are the complex of old boathouses natural stone wrought iron doors. Although Fleur du Lac is privately owned and is not allowed to land there, the boathouses and multi-million dollar condos are easily visible from the lake.
Over Smoking Aces was filmed in South Lake Tahoe and Stateline. Many of the hotels and casinos are visible in the film with their names old. The climactic scenes of the 1987 film of Charles Bronson's murder and was filmed around Lake Tahoe. Tahoe features prominently in the plot of the classic film Return to the black past. Both the guard and the City of Los Angeles and shot her scenes in weather around Lake Tahoe and Fallen Leaf Lake Area (California). bike-riding scene prominently features Meg Ryan Lake Tahoe in the background.
The British television show Top Gear was filmed at Lake Tahoe in Episode 2 12 Series in 2008.
