California/Nevada lake (5)

I believe the answer is:

tahoe

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

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, the Universal and the Newsday.
