There are a ton of delicious restaurants to visit in Truckee. Some of our favorites are Marty's Cafe for brunch. Moody's, Old Town Tap or Morgan's Lobster Shack for dinner. Truckee Brewery for beer and Pastime for a good ol' fashion dive bar.
Truckee is right next to Donner Lake. Take a dip in the beautiful clear water and soak in the view. 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 20 minute drive from Truckee. It has a stunning sand beach and a great area to lay out in the sun. We recommend arriving early and bringing chairs, umbrellas, and a cooler full of drinks because it can get hot!
Truckee and the surrounding area is a hiker's heaven. Here are some recommendations for great day hikes. Remember to pack lots of water and sunscreen!
If you are an avid golfer like us (kidding!), make sure to check out Truckee's golf courses. -Old Greenwood and Gray’s Crossing -Coyote Moon Golf Course
If you can stick around and visit South Lake, it is worth the trip. It is about an hour from Truckee and has the best beaches (Zephyr Cove is a favorite), hiking, water sports, casinos, concert venues, and restaurants. If you need help planning a trip to South Shore, let us know.
