Small little mountain town that is home to Donner Lake, Donner Memorial State Park and plenty of shopping and dining. Downtown Truckee has a true western feel.
Emerald Bay State Park is a state park of California in the United States, centered on Lake Tahoe's Emerald Bay, a National Natural Landmark
Caples lake is a reservoir that is located near Kirkwood. It's great for fishing, camping and swimming!
We'd recommend doing the full drive around the lake to get the best views! This can be done in an hour non-stop (however we recommend stopping as much as possible to explore). North Lake has beautiful beaches and a small town mountain vibe while South Lake offers ample shopping and high rise casinos. Some beautiful beaches are on the East side of the lake. A short ten minute hike up Eagle Rock on the West shore will provide you with spectacular views of the lake.
Carson Pass is truly an amazing area, and our venue is in the middle. There are tons of places in this area to check out hikes, lakes, and vista points.
