Lake Tahoe is unique in that it is endorheic basin. It is one of the purest water lakes in the world, with the water at 99.994% pure (this is close to distilled water that is 99.998% pure). Lake Tahoe ranks amongst the world’s 20 oldest lakes.

Tahoe’s clean air and water are the keys to the Lake’s dazzling blue color. The surface of Lake Tahoe is blue in part because it’s reflecting the sky, but there is more to this phenomenon. Water as crystal clear as Tahoe’s absorbs red light, leaving the rich blue color that we all see.

South Lake Tahoe is more bustling when it comes to nightlife while the North Lake Tahoe is quieter and more shrouded in wilderness.
