A nature lover’s paradise rings North America’s largest alpine lake.
There’s plenty of adventure to be had at North America’s largest alpine lake. It’s difficult to overstate Lake Tahoe’s stunning natural beauty — granite spires, snowcapped peaks and imposing fir trees frame the 191 square miles of sparkling blue water. Paradise for the outdoor enthusiast, the area boasts countless miles of hiking trails, world-class mountain biking and thrilling watersports — not to mention roughly 400 inches of fresh powder each year. Charming mountain towns circle the area’s 72 miles of shoreline, which spans the California-Nevada border.

Three Days of Nature in Lake Tahoe
Explore Emerald Bay
One of the wonders of the West Coast, Emerald Bay is a gem of a state park on Lake Tahoe’s southeastern rim. Spend the day snorkeling through an underwater trail, paddling to a remote island and hiking to a forgotten teahouse.
Bike and Hike East Lake Tahoe
East Lake Tahoe is best enjoyed on two wheels. Take a spin along a newly constructed bike path and be rewarded with sandy shores where you can test the alpine waters (spoiler alert: the water is cold, even in the summer) — plus chickadees who eat right out of your hand.
Spend Time on the West Shore
On the northwestern shore, experience life like a local in the California enclave of Tahoe City. Take it easy with a round of golf on a historic course and a stroll through the serene grounds of a fascinating little museum.
