What to do and see in Lake Tahoe (California), Lake Tahoe (California): The Best Nature & Wildlife Areas

September 3, 2021 Trinity Boughner

Basking in its 300 days of sunshine, Lake Tahoe is a haven for outdoor fun in every season. Swimming, kayaking and windsurfing are popular in the summer months, while epic snowfall makes for spectacular skiing in winter. For those who prefer indoor fun, there's plenty of that in Tahoe, too. With 24-hour casinos and a flashy nightlife scene, the area has a tangible Vegas vibe. A sprinkle of bling, if you will. Not surprising, since Lake Tahoe straddles the border between California and Nevada.

Van Sickle Bi-State Park

Reviewed By karls640 - Dallas, United States

Van Sickle is easy to get to and features some beautiful hiking. The entrance is behind the Marriott Vacation Club so you can walk to it from anywhere in town. There's a nice hike up to some quaint falls that will provide breathtaking views of Lake Tahoe and the surrounding area. And there's a longer loop hike you can do if want to log more time on the side of the mountain.

Burton Creek State Park

Reviewed By teastravelography

The trails for hiking and mountain biking are excellent. Some steep climbs, be prepared, worth the effort. Beautiful woods and views of the lake once you get on up there.
