Things To Do
Walk or Bike along the Truckee River
All along the Truckee River (from Tahoe City to Olympic Valley, in Truckee, and along the West Shore of the Lake (from Tahoe City to Meeks Bay) is a relatively flat paved path you can use for walks, runs, or bike rides. If you'd like to rent a bike, Truckee River Bikes is the place.
Sandwich from West Shore Market and picnic on the beach!
We love grabbing sandwiches and a drink from West Shore Market, then crossing the street to sit on the beach to eat lunch and enjoy the sunshine. Great at any time, but especially after an activity. These are large sandwiches! They also have coffee and pastries.
Visit Emerald Bay State Park
One of the most iconic views around Lake Tahoe. The drive is beautiful to get there and the vistas once there are spectacular. Feeling adventurous? Walk down to Emerald Bay, go for a dip, walk along the Rubicon Trail (out and back as far as you like), or hike up to Eagle Falls and Eagle Lake. The options are endless.
Enjoy the Beach at Ed Z'berg Sugar Pine Point State Park
Sugar Point Point State Park has lovely mellow walks (various lengths) through the forest that end with really nice soft sand beaches. Perfect if you're looking to enjoy the sun and the beach!
Hike Five Lakes Trail
Kasia's FAVORITE hike. Does this almost every week, if not multiple times a week all summer long. Bring a swimsuit (or don't!) and jump into the last lake for a refreshing dip.
Mountain Biking
There are tons of mountain biking trails all around Tahoe for all skill levels. If you need to rent a bike, Olympic Bike Shop in Tahoe City is a good starting place. For trail recommendations, call Nick.
