I visited Lake Tahoe last week and before starting my journey, 
I went through the AAA Tour Book California & Nevada. 

The following is some interesting statistics:

"Lake Tahoe, which holds enough water to cover the entire state of California
 to a depth of 14 inches, was named 'big water' by the Washoe Indians. Their
 legend says Lake Tahoe was created when an Evil Sprit was in pursuite of an 
 innocent Indian. Attempting to aid the Indian, the Great Sprit gave him a
 branch of leaves; each leaf dropped would produce a bod of water that the
 Evil Sprit would have to circumvent. But during the chase, the Indian 
 dropped the whole branch in fright-creating Lake Tahoe."

"It is said the waterin Lake Tahoe is 99.7 percent pure, about the same as
distilled water. Remarkably clear and deep blue, the lake is 22 miles long
and 12 miles wide. Its average depth is 989 feet; the deepest point is 1645
feet."

The cruise offered by the MS Dixie starts from he Zephyr Cove and lasts for
two hours in which the motor launch negotiates the narrow Emarald Bay which
is spectacular. I wish I went in winter to witness the snoey mountains 
surrounding the Lake Tahoe, 'The Lake in the Sky'.
