Top Rated Attractions in Lake Tahoe

Search Radius (Miles)
Lake Tahoe

Azure blue skies and emerald green waters make up the magnificent Lake Tahoe and its surroundings. A large freshwater lake in the Sierra Nevada, Lake Tahoe is located along the border of the US states of California and Nevada. It is considered the largest alpine lake in North America and was formed about 2 million years ago. During the summer, the lake is perfect for water sports, including swimming and scuba diving. During winter, the area is draped in sheets of soft white snow that make for ideal skiing conditions. On top of gorgeous mountain and lake scenery, there are also ski resorts, casinos and many more tourist attractions here.

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.

Nevada State Capitol

Upholding the political and democratic stride of Nevada, this courtly state capitol, and its long-standing history, are as vibrant and iconic as the state itself. The building is awash in influences of Neoclassical and Italianate styles, and stands as a stirring nod to Nevada's emblematic past. Its complex, once a derelict expanse, is today the ground of stunningly-designed edifices. Resting to the west of the meandering Mississippi River, the capitol shelters an elaborate mural painted by A. V. Wiggins in 1917, along with numerous other artworks and exhibits. It is also crowned by a gleaming, silver dome, and shelters an opulent interior complete with textured marble flooring and historic court rooms. A jewel nestled in the heart of the city, the courtly capitol embodies the many aspirations of its founding fathers.

Commons Beach Park

Commons Beach Park is a large grassy area with playgrounds, BBQ areas, and rock-climbing facilities. Although the water isn't ideal for swimming, the beach features a nice sandy stretch for visitors to picnic and sunbathe. In summer, the beach famously hosts the Common Beach Concert Series and free movie nights on its grounds.

Gatekeeper's Museum

This beautiful building is a reconstruction of the gatekeeper's cabin, which served as a residence for the dam attendant at Lake Tahoe. As you walk through the exhibits, you will see displays about the pioneers, the area's natural history and authentic old photographs. Also on display is a beautiful collection of Native American baskets and artifacts. There are picnic tables on the park grounds adjacent to the museum.

Tahoe City

This town on the west shore of its namesake lake is an idyllic place that hosts attractions, shops, dining options and activities for all kinds of travelers. Its town center is a pretty neighborhood that is home to many shops, art galleries and popular restaurants, all within walking distance of one another. Tahoe City offers a range of fun recreational activities round the year, from kayaking and stand up paddleboarding on its lake shores during summer, to skiing and other snow sports come winter.
