Lake —, body of water in the Sierra Nevada mountains on the border between California and Nevada, US (5)

I believe the answer is:

tahoe

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

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
