Lake Tahoe last year reportedly became one of the most dangerous lakes in the state. A record number of deaths occurred on the lake and officials hope that information and other information keep Boaters informed of the dangers in the waters of Lake Tahoe. Officials state that one of the areas they are concerned about is boaters on the lake are not aware that being flipped out of a boat into icy cold water when the temperatures are hot or warm, swimmers lose control and then drown because of body shock. Last summer there was a record of 15 deaths on Lake Tahoe prompting multiple agencies to work together with local operators to raise awareness of the dangers that exist on the lake.
