Our venue is about 25 minutes from Downtown Truckee, and most of the hotels that we have recommended are close to this areas. Downtown has lots of shops, restaurants, and historical sites to explore.
Floating down the Truckee River is one of the greatest things to do on a warm summer day! Floats usually last a couple of hours. While we don't recommend doing this the day of the wedding, it would be a wonderful excursion on Friday or Sunday.
There are a number of beautiful hikes in the area. Keep in mind some are more strenuous than others.
Truckee has some great golf courses!
Truckee is right next to Donner Lake. At the lake you can rent stand up paddleboards, hydrobikes, single and double kayaks, jet skis, and motor boats.
Kings beach is located in North Lake Tahoe and is about a 25 minute drive from Truckee. It can get rather busy on the weekends but is a great place to relax and enjoy the Tahoe sunshine.
Resort is about a 20 minute drive from Truckee. There are a number of events held there throughout the summer. From food and drinks to shopping, hiking, live music, roller skating, there is always something to do. We recommend checking out their website closer to the wedding to see what is going on Friday and Sunday afternoon if you will be in the area.
If you can stick around and visit South Lake Tahoe it is worth the trip. It is about an hour drive from Truckee and has the best beaches, hiking, water sports, casinos, concert venues, and restaurants.
