American lake deeper than the Empire State Building's height (5)

I believe the answer is:

tahoe

(Other definitions for tahoe that I've seen before include "Lake in Sierra Nevada mountains" , "the Nevada/California border area" , "Lake/desert resort on the California-Nevada border" , "Mountain lake" , "US lake" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
