Top Rated Attractions in Lake Tahoe

Search Radius (Miles)
Eagle Lake

Cradled in the Sierra Nevada mountains, the Eagle Lake is an embodiment of Lake Tahoe's alpine beauty. The lake was so named due to the increased number of eagles that can be spotted around. The lake can be reached by a challenging trail but the calm waters and breathtaking environs are all worth the effort.

Emerald Bay State Park

Emerald Bay State Park preserves the natural heritage of the area and is a must-visit for nature lovers. One of the most scenic vistas are formed by the juxtaposition of the mountains against the lake and a unique landscape of granite and rock formed by the slow erosion of glaciers over millenia. Within the park visitors can camp, hike and climb with multiple well defined trails to explore, a great way to truly experience the natural wonder of the area. The Rubicon foot trail is a popular choice. A must-visit while in the park includes the stunning Vikingsholm, a Scandinavian castle, one of a kind in the Western hemisphere and the Tea House on Fannette Island. Other activities visitors can enjoy include swimming, kayaking, boating and climbing. For more details, visit the website.

Vikingsholm

Mrs. Lora Josephine Knight began building her estate in 1928 with as many as 200 workers employed to carve intricate designs by hand; the hinges were hand-forged as well. Two of the most unusual aspects of the castle are the sod roof and the fact that much of the house was built without benefit of nails or other fasteners. The castle contains many fine examples of Scandinavian furnishings and antiques. This site is accessed from Emerald Bay State Park, also known as the D.L. Bliss State Park.

Steamboat Villa Hot Springs Spa

This is the oldest known site for continuous hot spring activity producing surface mineral deposits in the world today. The spa dates back to the Virginia City mining days, when Dr. Edna Carver used these healing waters and operated this famous therapeutic center from 1909 to 1954. The hot springs have since been registered as a National Historical Site. Pamper yourself in one of the private geothermal steam rooms, or sit and relax in one of the spas where the water temperature can be adjusted to please each client. There are several therapeutic services available to augment your spa visit, including Swedish massage, aromatherapy, sports, Thai or traditional Japanese massages. Maybe you would like a mud body wrap using special herbs, which claim to help your body lose inches. Whatever your needs are, they can be met at this healing and therapeutic spa. Reservations are recommended.
