Emerald Bay is one of the most photographed places in the country, it is a must see when visiting Lake Tahoe. From the parking lot there is a short hike down a cascading waterfall (easy to moderate) to the waters edge and the Vikingsholm Castle.
D.L. Bliss State Park is one of the best public lake access points in Tahoe. Beautiful coves, clear water, and sandy beaches.
One of many boat rental services nearby. A boat day on Lake Tahoe can't be missed.
Located right at the resort, this beautiful golf course offers scenic mountain views and a relaxed atmosphere.
Historic Downtown Truckee will take you back to the old west. Great walking, shopping, and dining.
The sister restaurant to Base Camp in South Lake Tahoe (a favorite of Erin & Randy's). Great place for a casual lunch. The spinach artichoke dip is heavenly.
Our friend Grant said a guy named Randy owns it so must be good..
Deli sandwiches for a day on the lake.
A lake front institution along the west shore of Lake Tahoe. If you are looking for a lunch of dinner on the lake, this is one of Tahoe's gems.
Great patio on the Truckee River, with a charming atmosphere for cocktails, lunch, or dinner. Call ahead, as they host many private events in the summer.
