What the heck, San Andreas lake is probably the "largest lake to straddle an active fault line near a major freeway" in the US. Would also depend on whether you consider the Mission Range in Montana as being "alpine" or not....so Tahoe still doesn't qualify as being other than second-largest. > >Obviously, the Great Lakes are larger than Tahoe. No doubt a lot >of these others, too. The disclaimer for Tahoe is usually west of the mississippi and natural lake, which leaves only Flathead lake in Montana as larger...and if you don't consider it equally alpine, you've never been there.
