Lake Tahoe's crystal clear waters have long been a recreational retreat for the people of California and Nevada. During the peak winter season, Lake Tahoe offers some of the most sought after skiing and snowsports in the United States. During the warmer seasons, outdoors lovers visit for recreational activities including parasailing, kayaking, hiking, camping and fishing. At nighttime the action moves indoors to Lake Tahoe's many fine bars, restaurants, and casinos.
