Lake Tahoe

Lake Tahoe is a natural wonder - the largest alpine lake in North America with strikingly clear blue water, surrounded on all sides by huge mountains. It’s just a quick, 20 minute drive from Truckee, making it an easy day trip. Its 72 miles of shoreline invite visitors to relax, unwind, and have fun.

Featured Experience

72 Mile Cleanup

Last summer, volunteer divers with Clean Up The Lake removed over 2,200 lbs of trash from a six mile segment of Lake Tahoe. This summer, they’re going back to clean up the entire circumference of the lake, all 72 miles! Want to get involved? You can help by reporting trash, volunteering, or joining a dive with scuba experience.
