I would come to Lake Tahoe and stay at the Fallen Leaf Forest Service campground. The Camp Richardson area, Sugar Pine Point park and Emerald Bay are all worth the trip. A day trip around the lake, clockwise, is worth the time.
The pollution of the lake is relative. It is measured with a white disc about 1 foot in diameter lowered in the lake until it cannot be seen. The clarity has decreased from about 100' to about 65'. The numbers may not be quite right but the lake is still very clean. People swim and play in it all summer and while I would not drink the water close to shore out in the middle I would't hesitate.
