What is Lake Tahoe?
[[File:Lake Tahoe NV.jpg|thumb|Lake Tahoe]] '''Lake Tahoe''' or '''Tahoe''' is a [[fresh water]] lake in the [[Sierra Nevada (US)|Sierra Nevada]]. It is on the borders of the states of [[California]] and [[Nevada]], in the [[United States of America]]. Lake Tahoe is one of the deepest (1645 feet/501 m), largest (192 sq. mi./497&nbsp;km²), and highest [[elevation]] (6229 feet/1898 m) lakes in the United States. Of the lakes in the United States, only Oregon's [[Crater Lake]] is deeper at 1930 feet (588 m). Some visitors experience altitude sickness, because there is less [[oxygen]] in the air at higher altitudes. To fight this, experts recommend avoiding heavy exercise or drinking [[Alcoholic drink|alcohol]] until the body adjusts to the lower oxygen level.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Warfield|first=Toree|title=What to know about acclimating to Lake Tahoe's higher elevations|url=https://www.sierrasun.com/trending/what-to-know-about-acclimating-to-lake-tahoes-higher-elevations/|access-date=2021-07-05|website=www.sierrasun.com|language=en-US}}</ref> ==References== {{reflist}} ==Other websites== {{commons cat-inline}} {{California}} {{authority control}} {{US-geo-stub}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Tahoe, Lake}} [[Category:Lakes of California]] [[Category:Geography of Nevada]] [[Category:Western United States]] [[Category:El Dorado County, California]] [[Category:Placer County, California]]
