Lake Tahoe – Lake Tahoe: A Brief History of the Lake

January 4th, 2007 · No Comments

The beauty of Lake Tahoe will take your breath away. It is a fantastic place to visit, with resorts and developments that will please everyone.


The lake itself was formed by the rise and fall of faults about 5 to 10 million years ago. This made a deep valley that was blocked on the north-eastern side by lava from an eruption of Mt. Pluto approximately 2 million years ago. According to geologists, the initial height of Lake Tahoe was 600 feet higher than its present level.


Today the lake itself stretches across the Nevada-California border, 59 miles southwest of Reno and 100 miles northeast of Sacramento.
