One of our favorite bar and restaurants because of the location right on the Truckee river. They have a large stone patio with walk up barbecue menu on the patio during the summer months that is very popular with rafters ending their float trips from Tahoe City.

The best spring and summer hike in Tahoe! You can choose the strenuous version going up and back or take the Squaw Valley tram up and have a nice hike back down to the valley floor. Dog friendly too (even the gondola).

Iconic Scandinavian home built in the early 20th century at the edge of Emerald Bay. Vikingsholm Castle is a 38-room home that is long considered as one of the finest and most incredible examples of Scandinavian architecture in the United States. Vikingsholm Castle was built in 1929 by Mrs. Lora Knight, and still holds some of its original features, symbolic of 11th century stone churches in southern Sweden. A National landmark, Vikingsholm is a one mile steep walk on a downhill dirt road from Highway 89 at Emerald Bay. It is a State Park and offers tours daily in the summer. You can hike down to Emerald Bay and walk the perimeter of the building without tour reservations however.

Sand Harbor State Park on the Eastshore Nevada side of the lake offers very popular sandy beaches, crystal-clear water and interesting rock formations for a great day outing with swimming, kayaking and sunbathing. Boats for water-skiers and fisherman can easily launch from one of the park’s two ramps. Plan to leave early though because the parking lot fills quickly in the summer months. The park also hosts the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival every summer.
