Whatever that means.  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.

  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.
