Lake Tahoe, straddling the California-Nevada border in the midst of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, is one of those truly remarkable creations of nature that lends itself well to holiday-makers.

The various ski resorts around the lake make up the largest "winter sports" region in the U.S. For those that prefer summertime activities, the regional parks offer many opportunities for hiking, biking and wildlife viewing, there are a number of golf courses, and the lake itself is ideal for every water sport imaginable. Even people who prefer indoor entertainment can be satisfied; half of the lake sits within the gambling-friendly state of Nevada, with its casinos and related entertainment.

The Lake Tahoe Region

The Tahoe Basin is blessed with nearly 300 days of clear-blue-not-a-cloud-in-the-sky sunshine per year, and the 6,000+ feet in altitude and strict environmental policies mean that clean air is available year-round. The lake itself is truly an awe-inspiring thing to behold: with 1,645 feet of depth, it is the deepest alpine lake in the country, and it spans 72 miles in circumference. This means that it never freezes and averages a not-quite-cozy but definitely swimmable – at least in summer – temperature of 55°F throughout the year.
