Blessed with magnificent natural beauty and located in the one most popular and desirable locations in the Western United States, Lake Tahoe is considered the jewel of the High Sierra. At 6,229 feet above sea level, Lake Tahoe is the highest lake of its size in the United States, measuring 22 miles long by 12 miles wide, with an average depth of 989 feet and 72 miles of shoreline. Visitors traveling to the North Lake Tahoe region generate a substantial portion of the area’s economic activity. Much of the local economy depends on visitors and owners of vacation homes who contribute significantly to businesses that provide overnight accommodations, food and beverage services, and recreation opportunities, such as snow sports, water sports, hiking and biking and backcountry adventures. Visitor related construction and real estate activity also represent key components of the area’s economy.
