Of course, then we have Lake Tahoe, one of the world's most beautiful and clearest bodies of water, attracting 15 million visitors each year for its various outdoor recreational opportunities, including skiing, water sports, biking, camping and hiking. Through this, Lake Tahoe anchors a $5.1 billion economy and supports hundreds and hundreds of jobs.
