What runs deeper than Lake Tahoe? Our desire to preserve it.
It’s never too early to start thinking about the upcoming ski season. The Tahoe Fund is excited to bring you the opportunity to save on your next Gold Pass!

Historical data shows that Lake Tahoe’s average surface water temperature in July is 64.9ºF. Today, the lake is 64.1º, coming in just below that average. Tahoe’s famed clarity allows us to look deep. But be cautious, 18 inches below the surface maintains an average summer temperature of about 53º.
Today’s water level is 6,227.70 feet, making the Lake more than a foot lower than last year’s measurement of 6,229.03 feet at this time. With this lower lake level, the beaches are a little bigger giving us all the chance to practice social distancing while enjoying summer lake days.
This week we’re getting a look inside the Marlette Lake Fish Hatchery, thanks to our friends at the Nevada Department of Wildlife. In this short video, fish biologist Chris Crookshanks will teach us about the hatchery, spawning station and how they catch the fish. You’ll even learn why the Lahontan Cutthroat trout gets its name.

Father’s Day is upon us. So what’s a better present to give Dad than the gift of an inscribed bear, trout, or his name on the donor wall of the East Shore Trail? It’s not too late to order yours. A new donor wall and bear plaques are being put in at Hidden Beach, along with more trout along the scenic bridge. Click here or on the picture below to find out more!
