…but not as deep as either Lake Tahoe or Crater Lake.  Here are the 13 deepest lakes in the world (I have swam in 3 of them):

1. Baikal (Siberia, Russia) - 5,369 ft
2. Tanganyika (Tanzania and Zaire) - 4,708 ft
3. Caspian Sea (Iran and Russia) - 3,104 ft
4. Nyasa (Tanzania) - 2,316 ft
5. Issyk Kul (Kyrgizstan) - 2,297 ft
6. Great Slave (NW Territories) - 2,015 ft
7. Crater Lake (Oregon) - 1,943 ft
8. Lake Tahoe (Nevada and California) - 1,685 ft
9. Lake Chelan (Washington) - 1,419 ft
10. Great Bear (NW Territories) - 1,356 ft
11. Lake Superior (Canada and USA) - 1,333
12. Titanaca (Peru) - 1,214 ft
13. Lake Pend Oreille (Idaho) - 1,150 ft

For comparison: the Space Needle is 605 feet tall.
