4. Citizen Science - Non-scientists contribute to our understanding of the Lake by recording water, land, and air conditions. Join the fun! Contribute to the results and discussion of science by downloading the “Citizen Science Tahoe” app.
5. Rivers & Creeks - There are 63 streams that feed into Lake Tahoe. The Truckee River, the only outflow from the lake, allows rafting if the lake level is high enough to flow out at the Tahoe City dam.
6. Lake Conditions - The combination of wave height, water temperature, algae concentrations, clarity, and lake levels create a complex and ever-changing freshwater environment.
