EPIC LAKE TAHOE

Your guide to the best things to do, see & eat in Lake Tahoe

365 days of adventure

The gem of the Sierras, Lake Tahoe is an all-season destination. Here's your gateway to the best things to do in Lake Tahoe.

Hello there, Lake Tahoe.

We’re excited for you. Whether you’re visiting Lake Tahoe as a weekend trip, a road trip stop or a once-in-a-lifetime visit, we already know you’ll have the best time. And how could you not?

Lake Tahoe is a world-class winter destination dotted with some of the world’s most-loved ski resorts; an epic summer getaway with turquoise waters and golden sand beaches; and of course, a treasured mountain paradise with endless hiking trails, camping and exploration. And all just a 3-hour drive from San Francisco.

As the largest high-altitude, alpine lake in the United States and the country’s second deepest lake, there’s already a lot of superlatives tied to the gem of the Sierra Nevada. A little less officially—we’d call it one of the most beautiful destinations in the world.

Split between California and Nevada, Lake Tahoe has 72-miles of shoreline perfection. Around the lake, you’ll find iconic state parks like Emerald Bay, D.L. Bliss and Sand Harbor. Head into the mountains and winding trails lead to spectacular lake views, secluded river spots and backcountry skiing.

And every edge of Lake Tahoe’s shores has something new to explore.
