Truckee River's source lake (5)

I believe the answer is:

tahoe

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

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
