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.

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.

Tahoe Rim Trail

This is perhaps the most scenic and popular trail in the country. It winds 150-miles through national forest, wilderness and park lands. Hike, bike or horseback ride in the thick conifer forests and beautiful meadows. Unlimited panoramic views are at every turn, from horizon to horizon, high atop the granite peaks. Visitors can fish, picnic or camp along beautiful streams and lakes. Enjoy it for a few hours or even a few days, but remember to leave it as you found it. To hike on this trail, you must register at the kiosk at the trailhead.

D. L. Bliss State Park

Covering 2,149 acres (870 hectares) of the Sierra Nevada mountains, D. L. Bliss State Park features miles of both rocky and sandy beaches on the magnificent shoreline of Lake Tahoe. Also available to visitors are picnic areas, camping sites, and several hiking trails. Cocoon yourself in nature and admire the beautiful variety of trees and plants indigenous to the Lake Tahoe area. Along with Ponderosa and Jeffrey pines, red and white fir, cedar, junipers, and cottonwood, the park is replete with gnarled and stunted sugar pines that grow in thin granite soil. Take a stroll along the Balancing Rock nature trail and see a 130-ton rock, a favorite attraction since the late 1800s, that balances precariously on a slender stone base. Plan on spending the entire day at the park, because once you get here, you won't want to leave.

Donner Memorial State Park

Set up as a memorial to the Donner party stranded in the mountains during the winter of 1846–47, the park today caters to nature lovers and adventure enthusiasts. It consists of the Emigrant Trail Museum featuring Donner party artifacts and many other sites of historical interest including the Pioneer Monument and the Murphy family cabin site. Guided nature walks are also offered. The adjacent area boasts hiking trails, a beach, biking trails and fishing zones.

Kings Beach State Recreation Area

Among the most popular attractions of the eponymous census-designated town, Kings Beach State Recreation Area is a sandy haven where locals and tourists alike congregate to unwind beneath the Californian sun. The recreation area, which serves as a splendid vantage point from where to admire the vistas unfurling in the vicinity, offers plenty of recreational opportunities. Popular activities here include fishing, picnicking and kayaking.
