Fly-by Movies

Experience a flight over Lake Tahoe, above and below the water. The flight takes us over the ridges and valleys of the shaded-relief bathymetry and up over the surrounding mountains. The lake is approximately 22 mi (34 km) long and 12 mi (18 km) wide. The flight approaches from the south, above water and flies around the lake floor in a clockwise direction.
