Lake Tahoe, Nevada
Maintaining the character of its history, the area of Lake Tahoe, Nevada has several new residential and retail developments, and has experienced significant growth since the mid 1960’s.
Referred to as “big sky lake” by native Americans, it’s a beautiful clear-water lake which is actually a reflecting pool for the deep blue skies and the white billowing clouds above it, as well as the steep mountains and lush green trees that surround it. It is the third deepest lake in North America and lies at an elevation of 6,229 feet. However, in the summer the surface water warms to about 68 degrees and is suitable for swimming, skiing, and other water activities. There are plenty of winter activities in the mountains as well.
As one of the Rocky Mountain States, Nevada consists of stark and arid lands, rugged snow-capped peaks, and sage-covered desert valleys. You'll find populous areas as well as sparsely-populated areas that retain the personality of the Old West, and days when the Buffalo roamed the area in massive herds.
