Population: 7,119 Mark Twain described Lake Tahoe as "I thought it must be the fairest picture the whole earth affords." Lake Tahoe is best known for its beautiful blue and clear water, and is surrounded by mountains which rise more than 4,000 feet above the shore. Elevation at the 22 mile long by 12 miles wide lake is 6,229 feet. About one-third of the lake lies in Nevada, while the other two-thirds are in California. Lake Tahoe is the third deepest lake in North America: it has an average depth of 989 feet, but the deepest point is about 1,645 feet. The surface water (12 feet) can warm to 68°F in summer, allowing swimming, while depths below 700 feet remain a constant 39°F. Perhaps this is why Lake Tahoe is comfortable through the summer despite its proximity to the desert. Both downhill and cross-country skiing are very popular in the winter, with many ski resorts to choose from. Annual snowfall averages 40 feet, with snow pack averaging 20 feet.
