Lake Tahoe located at 6200' above sea level is one of the largest alpine lakes in the world with over 71 miles of shoreline. There are 2 distinct areas to the Lake, North & South Shore, with each offering something different. To reach the North Shore take Interstate 80. The North Shore has a more rural atmosphere with small lakeside towns and many ski resorts. To reach the South Shore follow US 50. This area is more built up with shopping and large casinos nearby at the Nevada Stateline. The roads that surround the lake are 2 lane highways and provide excellent scenery. Check weather conditions during wintertime as there can be road closures. For visitor information visit these websites: South Lake Tahoe
