Lake Tahoe
Looking eastward from the summit of Ellis Peak (8740 ft/2664 m). The mountains on the skyline, the Carson Range, are in Nevada. Ellis Peak has a well-defined trail which, alas, is open to motorbikes as well.
Lake Tahoe is natural, altho its level was raised in the early years of the last century by a small outlet dam, for water storage. It's the 6th largest lake by volume in the US, after the 5 Great Lakes. Its maximum depth is 1645 ft (501 m), second-deepest in the US after Oregon's Crater Lake. It's the largest alpine lake in North America, meaning its elevation is >5000 ft (1524 m). For historical reasons, the Californa-Nevada state line is out in the lake, and indeed the turning point on the boundary, where it shifts from north-south to southeasterly, is out in the middle of the lake(!)

slgwv club has replied to Don Barrett (aka DBs… clubA great many of the natural lakes in the Sierra have been slightly enlarged with low outlet dams, for storage. Lots of those constructions are pretty informal and I think some go back to the 19th century.
