Shown here is a partial street map South Lake Tahoe.
Tahoe is a large freshwater lake located in the Sierra Nevada mountains of the United States, on the border between California and Nevada, just west of Carson City. The lake is about 22 miles long and 12 miles wide, with over 70 miles of shoreline, and an average depth of about a thousand feet. The surrounding area was formerly inhabited by a Native American community known as the Washoe tribe.
Tahoe is known for crystal clear blue water that reflects the stunning mountains overlooking it. The area is famous for its ski resorts (especially Heavenly Mountain and Squaw Valley), but is equally popular for outdoor summer fun.
The lake's largest city is South Lake Tahoe, located on the California side of the lake. Local businesses include a half dozen interesting book stores and over a hundred restaurants. The nearest neighboring city is Stateline, Nevada.
