Tahoe Fact
Lake Tahoe has lost one-third of its transparency in the past thirty years. When Tahoe’s clarity was first measured in the 1960’s you could see down over 100 feet (annual average). In 2005, you could see down into the lake only 72.4 feet (annual average). The lake has lost an average of one foot of clarity each year.
