Tahoe Fact
Lake Tahoe does not freeze. This is because of the enormous size of the lake and the fact that the water is always in motion. Each winter, the cold water on the surface sinks while warm water rises from the deep. This mixing motion keeps the lake from freezing over, though some protected inlets like Emerald Bay have been covered with a layer of ice.
