Item Description
The modern shoreline of Lake Tahoe is also an artificial creation, made possible by the new dam at the outlet to the Truckee River. The dam was completed in 1913, to store water in the lake for downstream users. The maximum storage allowed raised the lake level six feet beyond its "natural" outlet of 65,223 feet above sea level. Seasonal variation in lake level occurred even before water began to be stored there, however, owing to natural cycles of drought affecting the mountain streams that drain into Tahoe.
