Things To Do
Beaches
There are so many beaches here. A few options include: Kiva Beach: This large beach on the South shore sits at the mouth of Taylor Creek. This is one of the few beaches on the lake that has free parking and that is dog-friendly. Enjoy Taylor Creek and the Taylor Creek Visitors Center which are both a short walk from the sand. Pope Beach: Located just East of Kiva Beach, Pope Beach is known for its shallow and warmer water ( not actually warm just warm compared to other areas in Tahoe). This beach is very long, with easy access parking. Zephyr Cove: This beach is the place to go when looking for activity. Very popular all summer, it is possible to rent boats, rent jet skis, go parasailing, kayak, dine, and take cruises out on Tahoe on boats like the M.S. Dixie II, which docks in the Zephyr Cove Marina.
Cruises and Catamarans
Relax and enjoy a beautiful sunrise or sunset on one of so many cruises available. Booze cruises also available! Other choices include: http://www.tahoecruises.com/ http://www.camprichardson.com/the-resort/marina http://www.roundhillpinesresort.com/serenity-yacht http://www.cruisetahoe.com/
Epic Discovery at Heavenly
Discover summer on Heavenly Mountain by doing ropes courses, riding zip lines, climbing rock walls, going tubing, and taking in the views from the Gondola. Visit the Heavenly website for information on how to spend your summer atop one of the largest ski resorts in America!
Tahoe Rim Trail
This 165-mile hike around Lake Tahoe is the ultimate trek. Hike the entire thing or hike bits and pieces of the trail. The options are endless. You can choose to hike any of eight sections of the trail.
Wildflower Hikes
Due to the heavy snow pack from this past winter, wildflower season this year is going to be fantastic. It is expected that wildflower peak will be in the middle of July at low-to-mid elevations, and at the beginning of August for mid-to-high elevations. One of the best places to see them around Lake Tahoe will be at Carson Pass which is south of the Lake Tahoe basin.
Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Lake Tahoe
If you book a room at the Hard Rock, Harrahs, or Monte Bleu there are free shuttles The Tahoe Ridge.
Fly Fishing
There are numerous other lakes in the Tahoe area that have wonderful fly fishing. Heenan Lake is one of my favorites and is located on Monitor Pass just outside the town of Markleeville, CA. Heenan is a catch and release only lake and is also home to the Lahontan Cutthroat Trout. Float tubing is the best way to catch these magnificent fish up to 40 inches. Caples Lake in Alpine County is another favorite. Spooner Lake at the junction of Hwy 28 and 50 in Nevada is fantastic, of course
Golfing
Edgewood Tahoe is an 18 hold golf course located near Stateline, Nevada on the South Shore of the lake. Edgewood is an iconic golf setting, famous for its views of Tallac and its beachfront location. Edgewood hosts one of Lake Tahoe's most famous summer events, the annual American Century Celebrity Golf Championship. Celebrities come to Tahoe this July 11th through the 16th to compete in an epic golf tournament, the most prestigious celebrity tournament in the sport. Some other beautiful courses include: Lake Tahoe Golf Course, Tahoe Paradise Golf Course, Bijou Golf Course
