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 second largest lake deeper into the United States, with a maximum depth of 1,645 feet (501 m) just behind the crater lake Oregon in 1949 feet (594 m). Lake Tahoe is also more 16th deepest in the world, and the fifth deepest mean depth. It is 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. Approximately 2 / 3 of the eastern shore of California. The south shore is dominated by the largest lake in the city, South Lake Tahoe, California, near Tahoe City, Nevada, while Tahoe City, California, lies north-west coast of the lake. While the roads run to the lake for much of the perimeter Tahoe, many important the coast and in public parks or protected by the U.S. Forest Service.
The lake lies in portions of two counties in California and three in Nevada. According to the Census Bureau, which has an area of 496,210 km (191,588 sq miles) in five counties 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, NV (6.251%)
Natural History
Geology
Lake Tahoe from space
Lake Tahoe Basin was formed by a geologic block (normal) faults. A geological fault block is a fracture in the earth's crust causing blocks of land to move up or down. raised blocks created the Carson range in the east and the Sierra Nevada to 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 Walker Lane belt deformation that welcomes nearly 12 mm / year of dextral shear between the Sierra Nevada microplate and North America. Lake Tahoe basin is formed by a series of major normal faults with their feet to the east, including failure Tahoeollar West Point, Stateline / North Tahoe fault and the Incline Village fault. These breaches of rights walking on ground are capable of great magnitude 7 earthquake, the most recent M7 paleoquake (~ 1500) that occur in the Incline Village fault with nearly of 9.7 feet (3.0 m) of vertical displacement. The West Tahoe-Dollar Point fault (WTDPF) seems to be a failure most active and potentially dangerous in the basin. A study in Fallen Leaf Lake, South Lake Tahoe, the use of mapping techniques for seabed imaging tests and found to paleoseismic WTDPF in the last earthquake is between 4.100 to 4.500 years.
Some of the highest peaks in the Lake Tahoe Basin that formed during the creation Lake Tahoe is Freel Peak at 10,891 feet (3,320 m), Monument Peak at 10,067 feet (3,068 m), Pyramid Peak at 9983 feet (3043 meters) (in the desert of Desolation) and Mount Tallac at 9735 feet (2967 m).
The eruptions of the extinct volcano Mount Pluto formed a dam on the north side. Snowmelt completed Part Southern and lower pelvis to form the ancestral Lake Tahoe. runoff and rain water Additional added.
Modern Lake Tahoe was created and designed by scouring glaciers during the Ice Age, which began a million years or more. Lake Tahoe is fed by 63 tributaries of the Truckee River as the only way. Truckee flows northeast through Reno, Nevada and Pyramid Lake, Nevada, which has no outlet.
The soils of the basin are mainly andesitic volcanic rocks and granodiorite, with minor areas of metamorphic rocks. Some funds valleys and hills the hills are lower mantle glacial moraines, or glacial outwash material derived from bedrock. Cryopsamments, Cryumbrepts, Rockland, rocky outcrops and debris stone and colluvium account for over 70% of land in the basin (see Soil Taxonomy United States.) Soils of the basin (in the <2 mm) are generally 65 to 85% sand (0.052.0 mm).
Given the great depth of Lake Tahoe, and the location of normal faults in the deeper parts of Lake, modeling earthquakes suggests that these defects can cause tsunamis. Height of tsunami waves are expected at around 10 to 33 feet (3 to 10 m) high, capable of crossing the lake in minutes. A massive collapse of the western margin of the basin that formed around McKinney Bay 50,000 years ago is supposed to have caused a tsunami / seiche wave with height is about 330 feet (100 m).
Weather

The ranges of average annual rainfall of over 55 (1,400 mm) in watersheds on the west side of the basin around 26 inches (660 mm) near the lake on the east side of the pond. Most precipitation falls as snow between November and April, although rain combined with melting Snow rapid represent most of the floods. There is a pronounced annual runoff of snowmelt in spring and early summer, the time varies from year to year. In recent years, the storms of the summer monsoon in the Great Basin bring intense rainfall, especially high altitude on the east side of the pond.
August is usually the hottest month at the airport in Lake Tahoe (elevation 6254 feet (1906 m)), with an average of 78.7 F (25.9 C) and an average minimum of 39.8 F (4.3 C). January is the month with a cooler average of 41.0 F (5.0 C) a minimum average of 15.1 F (-9.4 C). The all-time peak of 99 F (37.2 C) was recorded July 22, 1988. The lowest level of -29 F (-33.9 C) was recorded December 9, 1972 and February 7, 1989. Temperatures exceed 90 ° F (32.2 C) average of 2.0 days per year. Minimum temperatures of 32 ° F (0 C) or lower occur on an average of 231.8 days per year and minimum temperatures of 0 ° F (-17.8 C) or lower occur on an average of 7.6 days per year. Low temperatures have occurred every month of the year.
Ecology
Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) Beaver Dam jump
The vegetation in the basin is dominated by a conifer forest of Jeffrey pine (Pinus jeffreyi), lodgepole pine (P. contorta), spruce (Abies concolor) and red fir (A. maximized). The basin also contains significant areas of wet meadows and riparian areas, dry meadows, brush fields (with Arctostaphylos and Ceanothus) and outcrops rock, especially at altitude. Ceanothus is capable of fixing nitrogen, but the mountains Alder (Alnus tenuifolia), which grows along the river of many streams, springs and seeps, fixes far greater quantities, and contributes nitrate-N concentrations measured in some small streams.
Beaver (Castor canadensis) were reintroduced in Tahoe Basin by the Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) and the Forest Service United States between 1934 and 1949. Descendant of the more than nine persons, 1,987 beaver populations in the upper and lower Truckee River had reached a density of 0.72 colonies (3.5 beavers) per kilometer. In the present beaver were seen in the Tahoe Keys, Meeks Meeks Creek Bay on the west coast of Playa del Rey on the north coast, so the descendants of nine beavers have apparently moved around most of Lake Tahoe. It was shown that trout and salmon freely through Beaver Dam.

Human history
Native
The area around Lake Tahoe was originally inhabited by the Tribe Washoe. Lake Tahoe is the center and heart of Washoe Indian territory, including the high valleys of Walker, Carson and Truckee. The name derives Lake Tahoe English the dw Washo "lake".
Exploration
Lieutenant John C. Frmont was the first person of European to see Lake Tahoe during the second exploring expedition of Fremont, Feb. 14. 1844. John Calhoun Johnson, explorer and founder of "Cutoff Johnson" de la Sierra (now U.S. Route 50), was the first white man to see Meeks Bay and a peak on the lake called Fallen Leaf Lake after his Indian guide. His first job was west in public administration, carrying the mail on snowshoes from Placerville to Nevada City, during which he named the lake "Lake Bigler "in honor of California's third governor John Bigler. In 1853, William Eddy, the surveyor general of California, Lake Tahoe identified Bigler. In 1862, the Department of Interior is the first time Once the name Tahoe. Both names were used for much of the century next. The lake received its official designation as Lake Tahoe and finally until 1945.
California and Nevada reached the compromise of partition between the two Tahoe when it became a state of Nevada in 1864. With the state line is the median line on the lake, then to 39 degrees north latitude, the boundary short south-east of the Colorado River.
Mining has
By boat on Lake Tahoe
Al discovery of gold in South River American Fork in 1848, thousands of prospectors to the west passed near the basin on its way to the goldfields. European civilization first made his mark in the Lake Tahoe 1858 with the discovery of the Comstock Lode, a silver deposit just 15 miles (24 km) in Virginia City, Nevada. Of 1858 to 1890, logging in the catchment area large pieces of wood to support underground mining Comstock. The record was so extensive that loggers cut almost all native forests. In 1864, Tahoe City was founded as a resort community Virginia City, the first recognition of the potential of the basin as a tourist destination area.
Development
public recognition of the basin has increased Tahoe, and during the sessions 1912, 1913 and 1918 Congress, deputies tried unsuccessfully to designate the basin as a national park.
While Lake Tahoe is a natural lake, is also used for storage of water by the Irrigation District Truckee-Carson (DICT). The lake level is controlled by a dam built in 1913 in taking away from the lake, the Truckee River in Tahoe City. dam 18 feet (5.5 m) high can increase capacity 744,600 acreft Lake (0.9185 km3).
During the first half of the 20th century, development around the lake consisted of a house with a few. The post-Second World War II population and building boom, followed by the construction of casinos in the Nevada part of the basin during the years 1950 and completion bonds highways for the Winter Olympics of 1960 held in Squaw Valley, a dramatic increase in the development basin. From 1960 to 1980, permanent residential population has increased from about 10,000 to more than 50,000, and the summer population has grown by about 10,000 to about 90,000. The decade of 1980, development has slowed due to controls on land use.
Politics
Lake Tahoe is located within California and Nevada, and as such is not governed by a 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 in charge of environmental protection Lake Tahoe Basin through regulation of land use and planning.
Mansions
Lake Tahoe is also the site of several days 19 and 20 old palace houses of historic significance. The Thunderbird Lodge was built by George Whittell Jr. both took about 27 miles the coast of Nevada. Vikingsholm was the establishment of origin in Emerald Bay and includes an island teahouse and a house of 38 rooms. Ehrman mansion is a house built by a former president of Wells Fargo at Sugar Pine Point and is now a state park.
Environmental issues
Water Quality
Secret Beach on Lake Tahoe in Nevada
Although land use and export of treated wastewater in the basin, the lake is increasingly eutrophic (having an excessive richness of nutrients), with primary productivity has increased by over 5% annually, and clarity decreases at an average rate of 0.25 meters per year. Until the 1980's, studies have shown that nutrient limitation of primary productivity in the lake was nitrogen limited. Now, after half a century of accelerated nitrogen input (much of the deposit directly into the atmosphere), the lake is phosphorus limited.
Test results over the last eight years have shown a stabilization the clarity of the lake, said Lake Tahoe Research Group in March 2009. Fine sediments, mainly due to land disturbance in the basin, which is about half the loss of clarity. Charles Goldman of UC Davis was directly responsible for implementing Tahoe authorities to pump all effluent basin Tahoe, as has been widely developed in the 1950s. Goldman made local officials understand that the treated wastewater, even in large part on the water quality of Lake Tahoe.
Lake Tahoe is a watershed of the river basin element Truckee, and his only escape is the Truckee River, following the exercise of Pyramid Lake. Due to the sensitivity of the water quality of the Truckee River (which includes two protected species, the cui-ui fish pumping and Lahontan cutthroat trout), this basin has been studied extensively. The primary investigations were stimulated by the U.S. The Environmental Protection Agency, which funded the development of DSSAM model to analyze water quality below Lake Tahoe.
Lake Tahoe is never freezes. Since 1970 he has been mixed to a depth of at least 1,300 feet (400 m) a total of 6 or 7 times. Dissolved oxygen is relatively high, 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 year. The warming is mainly caused by the increase in air temperature, and the other place by increasing the longwave radiation downward. The warming trend by reducing the frequency of deep mixing in the lake, and can have significant effects in water clarity and nutrient cycling.
Ecosystem changes
Since the 1960s, the site of the lake for food and zooplankton populations have undergone significant changes. In 196365, opossum shrimp (Mysis relicta) were introduced to improve the food supply for salmon introduced Kokanee (Oncorhynchus nerka). The shrimp began feeding on the lake cladocerans (Daphnia and Bosmina), and its population has disappeared in 1971. The shrimp provide a food resource for salmon and trout, but also compete with juveniles for zooplankton. Since the 1970s, populations of cladocerans recovered somewhat, but not to previous levels.
In June 2007, the fire has burned about 3,100 acres Angora (1300 hectares) in the southern part of Lake Tahoe. Although the impact of ash in the ecosystem of the lake should be minimal, the impact of potential future erosion is not yet known.
Environment
Until recently, construction on the shores of the lake had been largely under the control of wealthy real estate developers. Construction activities led to a clouding of the clear blue waters of the lake. Currently, the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency is to regulate construction along the coast. (And won two Federal Supreme Court battles over recent decisions). These regulations are unpopular with many residents, especially owners the shores of Lake Tahoe Association. [Citation needed]
Emerald Bay, Lake Tahoe
League to Save Lake Tahoe (Keep Tahoe Blue) has been the public interest watchdog in the Lake Tahoe for 50 years. Was based on a proposal to build a four lane highway through the entrance of Emerald Bay Bridge lakeith proposal in 1957, the Company has frustrated the ill-conceived development projects and environmental planning unstable. The evaluation of the course "2007" comprehensive plan developed by TRPA, the League embraces responsible use and diverse resources of the lake, while protecting and restoring its natural attributes.
Since 1980, Lake Tahoe Interagency Monitoring Program (LTIMP) was measuring flow and concentrations of nutrients and sediment in 10 tributaries in the Lake Tahoe, California and Nevada. The objectives of the LTIMP will acquire and disseminate information on water quality necessary to support environmental planning environment based on 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 set data and data recently acquired on the water quality, runoff is used by the control Lahontan Regional Water Develop a quality program (the mandate of the Clean Water Act) to limit the flow of nutrients and fine sediment from the lake.
Tourist Activities
Much of 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
Gondola Ride Lake Tahoe
During the ski season, thousands of people from all over Nevada and California, including Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco, visit the ski slopes. Lake Tahoe, in addition to its beauty, is well known for its snow storms.
Some of the major ski areas of Tahoe include:
Heavenly Mountain Resort: the largest ski area in California and Nevada, located near Stateline
Squaw Valley: the largest ski area in the second place, known for hosting the Winter Olympics in 1960, located near Tahoe City
Alpine Meadows: a medium sized ski area on the north coast a few miles from Squaw Valley
Diamond Peak: a small ski resort located in Incline Village, Nevada
Northstar-at-Tahoe on the north bank of the popular ski resort

Most ski resorts around Lake Tahoe is located at the end North Lake, near Truckee, California and Reno, Nevada. Kirkwood, Sierra-at-Tahoe and Heavenly are located on the south shore of the lake, about 80 miles (129 km) from Reno. It is common for visitors to walk among these three stations stay in South Lake Tahoe risk and not in the northern lake resorts (Squaw Valley, Northstar at Tahoe, Sugar Bowl, etc.).
Scattered throughout Tahoe are public and private parks Sled. Some, like the trailers are equipped with rope to help Granlibakken Snowmobilers reach the hill.
Many ski resorts around Tahoe also snow tubing, and Squaw Valley. Snow tubing is popular among people who are interested in different sports. Throughout Tahoe, skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing are also popular, so there are many paths for them.
Water Sports
During the late spring to early fall, the lake is very popular for water sports and beach activities. The two cities most identified the Lake Tahoe tourist South Lake Tahoe, California and the smaller Stateline, small towns on the north coast are Tahoe City and Kings Beach.
Navigation craft is a major activity in Tahoe summer. No restaurants on the lake around the lake, most equipped with docks and buoys (See the restaurant section.) There are all kinds of navigation events, such as boat races, fireworks on the lake, cruise tours and more. As an interstate highway, 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 sites offering spectacular diving irregularities or breaks the wall. Diving in Lake Tahoe is considered as advanced due to the increased risk of decompression sickness (DCS), while altitude diving.
Hiking and biking

There are hundreds of trails for hiking and biking around the lake. They vary in length, difficulty, and popularity. One of the most popular trails is the Tahoe Rim Trail Tahoe, 165 miles (270 km) trail that circles the lake. Just west of the lake lies the desert Granite Chief offers hiking and camping. In addition, the southwestern desert is very popular Desolation. One point of departure is the most popular trailhead of Eagle Lake. There are also several off-road paved bicycle paths.

Visitors can reach Lake Tahoe, ideally 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 ends week because of tourists, but also time.
The main channels of Lake Tahoe is on Interstate 80 to Truckee, U.S. Highway 50 and Highway 431 by way of Nevada, Reno. Most access roads and around Lake Tahoe are paved mountain roads to two lanes. U.S. 50 is a four-lane highway running south of the lagoon and part of the East Coast.
California Highway 89 is the west bank of the lake through the scenic desert links camping, fishing and hiking locations such as those in Emerald Bay State Park, DL Bliss State Park and Camp Richardson. Below are communities such as Meeks Bay and Tahoe City. Finally, the road from the lake and heads northwest of Truckee.
California Highway 28 is complete circuit around the city Tahoe North Shore like Kings Beach, Crystal Bay and Incline Village, Nevada, where the road becomes Highway 28 in Nevada. Highway 28 towers along the U.S. East Coast Highway 50 near Spooner Lake.
In the Media
The Ponderosa Ranch television series Bonanza was formerly located on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe. The opening sequence of the series was filmed on the Prairie Creek McFaul, with Mount Tallac in the background. In September 2004, the Ponderosa Ranch closed its doors have been sold to developers David Duffield for an undisclosed price.
In the movie The Godfather Part II, the Corleone family lived in a complex on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe. In a famous scene in the final minutes of the film, Fredo Corleone is caught in the lake for a fishing trip, should be executed for treason by order of his brother (Al Pacino) Michael, watching from the shore. The house and land depicted in the film are actually on the side of Lake Tahoe in California: Fleur du Lac, the summer residence of Henry J. Kaiser. The only structures used in the film that remain are the complex of ancient native stone sheds with wrought iron gates. Although Fleur du Lac is a private property and not allowed to land there, the boathouse and condominiums in several million dollars are easily visible from the lake.
Most smokers Aces was filmed in South Lake Tahoe and Stateline. Many hotels and casinos are visible in the film with their old names. Scenes the 1987 film of Charles Bronson murder and was shot around Lake Tahoe. Tahoe figure prominently in the plot of the classic thriller of the past.
