The ‘if you don’t know, now you knows’ about Lake Tahoe…-Lake Tahoe is 6,336 feet above sea level.-Lake Tahoe is the 3rd deepest lake in N. America.-Lake Tahoe contains enough water to cover the entire state of California in 14 inches of water.-Lake Tahoe is 99.9% pure, the same as distilled water.-Lake Tahoe is so clear that if you lowered a dinner plate into the lake, you could see it for 75 feet below the surface.  However, Lake Tahoe’s clarity is diminishing at an average rate of 1 foot per year due to pollution and sediment.  So next year you’ll only see that dinner plate 74 feet below the surface.Keep Tahoe Blue! :)
