• Pope Beach - Pope Beach is one of Lake Tahoe’s 40 public beaches, characterized by dunes and pine trees, making it an ideal spot for swimming, boating, or picnicking. Entry is $8 on most days, but can rise to $20 during peak holidays.
• Vikingsholm - Similar to Valhalla, Vikingsholm is designed to mimic the architecture of Scandinavian castles. This 38-room mansion features Norse carvings at the entrances and Nordic dragons on its roof, offering a view that rivals any of Norway’s fjords!
• Emerald Bay State Park - Emerald Bay is named for the beautiful green hue created by the sun reflecting on the bay’s crystal-clear waters. At Emerald Bay State Park, engage in various water activities, from kayaking to scuba diving and more. If you don’t have your own equipment, the park provides rentals!
• Eagle Falls - The Eagle Falls Trail leads to the only waterfall that flows into Lake Tahoe. This moderate, 2-mile hike is a popular stop, and for good reason. The trail offers not only the stunning waterfall at the end but also some breathtaking views along the way.
• Meeks Bay Trail - Meeks Bay boasts a pristine white sand beach perfect for relaxing by the lake. The water remains shallow for a long distance, making it an excellent spot for families. This beach can become quite crowded in the summer, so planning ahead is essential.
• Sugar Pine State Park - An optional detour can take you to Ed Z’berg Sugar Pine Point State Park. As the name suggests, sugar pines dominate this park. Interestingly, a significant portion of this 2,500-acre park is new growth forest due to extensive logging in the 1800s.
• Olympic Valley - If visiting in the winter, don’t miss this detour. Olympic Valley, high in the Sierra Nevada, offers some of the best skiing areas in the region. It has even hosted the Winter Olympics, hence the name!
• Tahoe City Visitor Information Center - The Tahoe City Visitor Information Center marks your progress. Located on the north side of the lake, it’s a great place to pause, find restrooms, and grab snacks for the final leg of your journey.
• Carnelian Bay - Carnelian Bay is a popular, picturesque spot once famous for more than its postcard beauty. In the 1930s and 1940s, it was a major destination for boat racing! Today, it’s a fantastic spot for fishing, paddleboarding, and various other activities.
• Kings Beach - Kings Beach is one of the warmest beaches on the lakeshore, perfect for those wary of the chilly alpine waters! The recreation area also includes a playground and a basketball court, with plenty of well-shaded picnic tables. It offers something for everyone.
• Memorial Point - Memorial Point Trail is an easy half-mile hike along the lakeside, offering unbeatable views, so keep your camera ready!
• Sand Harbor - Sand Harbor is more than just another beach. It features unique rock formations that make it a favorite among scuba divers and boasts some of the clearest water on the lakeshore. It’s also where you’ll find the trailhead for the fully accessible Sand Point Trail.
• Logan Shoals Vista Trail - Logan Shoals is undoubtedly one of the best vistas of Lake Tahoe. It rises 300 feet above the lake, providing panoramic views of the water and lush greenery. It’s a popular wedding spot for a reason!
• Cave Rock - Cave Rock, also known as the Lady of the Lake, is the remnant of an ancient volcanic core. This three-million-year-old rock was significant to the Washoe people. Today, it’s a popular sunbathing spot and fishing hole. This is the final stop on your tour route, but there are plenty more optional stops to continue the adventure.
