Does Lake Tahoe, California (and Nevada) have “tides”?
Ocean tides are cause by the pull of the Moon on the water, and the water moving from all over the world to compensate for the pull. In lakes, the water cannot move from all over the world. Depending on the lake, a scientist might be able to detect the movement of the water from one side of the lake to another on a tidal frequency, but it would be only a matter of millimeters or centimeters. Rain and wind would cause more motion in the water than tidal action from the Moon. The link below gives more information. I hope this helps. Sources: http://home.hiwaay.
