23+ Fun Things to Do in Lake Tahoe in the Summer
There are countless things to do in Lake Tahoe in the summer. From checking out beaches, going for hikes, and enjoying local eats. Below are some of our must-dos, organized by region of the lake!
South Lake Tahoe
1. Watch the Sunrise at Emerald Bay
One must-do activity at Lake Tahoe in the summer is watching the sunrise at Emerald Bay State Park! Since the bay faces east, it makes for the perfect sunrise spot. You can climb up one of the several rocky areas to watch the sun pop over the horizon and turn the sky shades of pink and gold.
Note: You’ll have to pay $10 to park at Emerald Bay State Park. So we recommend pairing this activity with some of the other things listed below at Emerald Bay State park to save on parking. However, there is also a vehicle limit of 18 feet in the parking lot, so we parked across the street for free which you can do too if you want. You’ll have to walk 0.2 miles along the road to get there, but there’s a little gravel trail to walk along, not the actual road. It’s also important to note that dogs are not allowed in the park.
2. See Vikingsholm
After sunrise, walk 1.2 miles down to Vikingsholm, a beautiful mansion right on the lake in Emerald Bay State Park. This 38 room mansion was built in 1929 as a summer home for Mrs. Lora J. Knight, American philanthropist from California. And it is one of the best examples of Scandinavian architecture in North America. There’s heavy Norwegian and Swedish influences on the outside, and even the furniture replicas on the inside.
The outside is free to admire, and paid tours of the inside run from late May-September. These 30 minute tours are offered from 10:30 AM to 4 PM and tickets are $18 for adults (and less for those 17 and under).
While down here, make sure to visit Lower Eagle Falls as well!
3. Kayak at Emerald Bay to Fannette Island
Emerald Bay is an amazing place to kayak! We personally love kayaking out to Fannette Island, the only island on Lake Tahoe. On the island is a stone tea house, constructed to look like a miniature castle, which was used by Mrs. Knight and her guests for tea. Today only the stone shell remains, but with a 5-10 minute hike, you can get to the top.
You can bring your own kayak, but keep in mind you’ll have to carry it down (and then back up) from the parking lot. Which is steep! Adam carried our inflatable one (around 35lbs) and it was quite the workout. We personally would never do this again 😂
If you do not own a kayak or would rather rent one, you can rent them in the bay from Kayak Tahoe! The cost of a rental runs anywhere from $38-$120, depending on how long you want to be out and the type of vessel you rent.
4. Go for a hike
There are tons of amazing hikes in Lake Tahoe, including many in the South Lake Tahoe area. And hiking at least one is a must! Here are a handful of our top suggestions. To learn more about them, check out our guide to the best Lake Tahoe hikes!
Eagle Lake (1.8 miles, 429 ft elevation gain)
Located right by Emerald Bay, this makes for the perfect short and sweet addition when exploring the area.
Granite Lake and Maggie’s Peak (4.1 miles, 1,778 ft elevation gain)
This is a great shorter alternative to Mount Tallac, but with similar (although lower) sweeping views of Lake Tahoe and the nearby lakes!
Mount Tallac (9.6 miles, 3,284 ft elevation gain)
This is the ultimate Lake Tahoe hike! However, it is very hard, steep, and rocky! We have heard the rocks at the top have damaged dogs paws in the past, so keep that in mind.
Lake Aloha Trail (12.3 miles, 1,860 ft elevation gain)
This is a stunning alpine lake that doesn’t require too much elevation gain to get to. It can be completed as a long day hike, but is also commonly done as a backpacking trip with campsites along Lake Aloha.
Rubicon Trail (16.4 miles, 2,339 ft elevation gain)
This long trail takes you around a good portion of South Lake Tahoe. Despite what AllTrails said, the trail IS open, but is currently only accessible starting from Emerald Bay State Park.
5. Enjoy local food in South Lake Tahoe
There are countless restaurants to choose from in South Lake Tahoe! While we highly suggest packing picnics for some meals, to avoid losing your parking spot, if you happen to be in town for a meal, here is where we suggest!
A couple spots we love in town are Verde Mexican Rotisserie (we loved the combo plate!) and Sprouts Natural Cafe (their smoothies and Real Tahoe Turkey sandwich rock!). These are both fast casual spots and relatively inexpensive.
For something a bit nicer, check out Base Camp Pizza Co., MacDuff’s Pub, California Burger Company, or Himmel Haus.
For a quick breakfast, we suggest grabbing bagels from Dragonfly Bagel Co. in South Lake Tahoe and then coffee at Clydes Coffee Roasting Company, just up the road in Stateline. But if you prefer more of a sit down breakfast, head to The Getaway Cafe or or Ernie’s Coffee Shop!
If you’re just looking for drinks, head to The Hangar, a beer garden with an amazing outdoor area. Also check out Sidellis, or Cold Water Brewery and Grill.
6. Check out the beaches in South Lake Tahoe
Hanging out at a beach is one of the best things to do in Lake Tahoe in the summer! In the South Lake Tahoe area, make sure to check out Baldwin Beach, Pope Beach, or Lakeside Beach!
A+K Tip: Parking can fill up FAST during the summer (and often has a fee). Make sure to arrive early to snag a spot!
7. Ride a bike path
Lake Tahoe has tons of options for cycling, including a couple options near South Lake Tahoe.
Pope Baldwin Bike Path (South Lake Tahoe)
The Pope Baldwin Bike Path is 3.4 miles (one way) and is named after two of the best beaches in the area. You can get to both of these beaches from this trail. It also passes by Camp Richardson where you can stop for an ice cream treat! We recommend beginning this trail from the Taylor Creek Visitor Center. We rode this trail on our most recent visit to Lake Tahoe in the summer and it’s a nice, chill ride through the forest!
Rabe Meadow Bike Path (South Lake Tahoe)
The Rabe Meadow Bike Path is a great way to stay close to town while still exploring a wide variety of the beautiful nature nearby. You’ll go through wetland meadows over wooden boardwalks and is the first piece to a stateline to stateline path in Nevada. The trail is 3 miles (one way) and parking is located here.
The Bike Tahoe website recommends even more great bike trails to explore for those interested!
8. Hang out at Fallen Leaf Lake
Fallen Leaf Lake is a GEM and usually overlooked when planning a trip to Lake Tahoe in the summer. We spent an afternoon here and camped that night and fell in love with it! The lake has crystal clear waters and beautiful mountain views. We loved setting up our hammock, reading, and then swimming in the lake.
This is a common spot to see bears which is exciting but you also need to make sure you’re bear aware and do not leave any food out at the lake.
Note: If you’re not camping here, you will need to pay a $10 fee to park.
9. Enjoy the sunset at the beach
To see a beautiful sunset over the water, head to Nevada Beach or Zephyr Cove, which are close to South Lake Tahoe. These beaches both face west, making them the perfect sunset spot.
Keep in mind that most beaches in Lake Tahoe charge for parking. Nevada Beach does have a $10 parking fee, but there is free parking along the road, which is what we recommend.
Zephyr Cove on the other hand only has paid parking options that range from $12 by the resort or additional parking that ranges from $20-$100 😱, depending on the day you visit. Because of the cost for parking, we chose Nevada Beach, which has a large beach, with plenty of space to spread out and it was perfect!
East Shore & Kings Beach
10. Explore the East Shore
The East Shore Trail is 5.2 miles and is easily one of the most beautiful bike paths in the country! It’s paved and runs between Incline Village and Sand Harbor. Along the way you’ll find different coves, plus endless scenic views!
If you want to bike, but won’t have yours with you on this trip, there are a couple of rental options close by, including Flume Trail Bikes (right at the start of the trail) and Big Blue Bike Rentals in Incline Village.
Otherwise you can just walk or run this trail to see the beautiful views. Parking here is not free though. They charge varying rates per hour from 7 AM to 7 PM and it can get pretty pricey.
Below are some of our favorite stops along the trail!
Hidden Beach
Hidden Beach is a great little beach area with multiple rocky coves to enjoy. You have to get there from the East Shore Trail since it is not accessible by car. There’s a nice sandy beach area, plus rockier areas, where you can lay out, swim, or kayak/paddleboard. Just keep in mind you’d have to carry it here if you plan to kayak or paddleboard.
Swim in different coves
There are so many little coves along the East Shore Trail and we have loved exploring many of the different ones along the trail. Many are not marked on Google Maps, but you can find them by looking for signs along the trail, bike racks, and also stairs or paths down to the water.
Since they aren’t well marked online, you’ll find way less people than at a typical beach! Our favorite spot we found was this rocky cove just north of Sand Harbor. This spot offers super clear water with tons of boulders that are fun to jump off of into the water below.
11. Visit Sand Harbor
A visit to Sand Harbor State Park is the most popular thing to do along the East Shore! It is famous for its picturesque beach and cove, with the iconic crystal clear Lake Tahoe water. Besides just hanging out at the beach, one popular thing to do here is rent kayaks or go on a clear kayak tour, which can take you to Bonsai Rock.
Sand Harbor Reservations
Beginning in April 2025 reservations will be required 7 days a week from when the park opens at 7 AM to 10:30 AM. Reservations are $5 and can be purchased at the reservations website. This is on top of the entrance fee of $10 for Nevada vehicles and $15 for out of state vehicles.
Reservations will not be required if you walk or bike into the park. And since it’s located right on the East Shore Trail, we suggest going this route instead. You can also take the East Shore Express shuttle here if you don’t want to walk or ride a bike.
Note: Dogs are not allowed at Sand Harbor.
12. Check out the beaches along the East Shore
South of Sand Harbor there are a few more hidden beaches you can hike down to like Chimney Beach and Secret Cove (nudist friendly). Unlike Sand Harbor, you cannot bike or walk on the East Shore trail to these. So instead, you will need to park alongside the road and go down a steep trail. You can also kayak to these from Sand Harbor!
But if you’d rather go to a beach with more parking and space, check out Kings Beach! There is also a solid taco spot nearby, La Mexicana Meat Market & Taqueria.
13. Go on a sunset hike up Monkey Rock
For a great sunset hike, go up a short but steep trail to Monkey Rock. The trail is 2.6 miles out and back with 479 feet of elevation gain. It leads to an overlook with a rock that looks like a monkey! There is another rock nearby called Butt Crack Rock, which looks exactly like the name implies. 😂
Truckee
Truckee is a town located about 20 minutes north of Lake Tahoe. But despite not being on the lake, it should definitely be added as a stop on your list of things to do in Lake Tahoe in the summer.
This cute town offers lots of history, local restaurants, and gorgeous views of the area. It’s not only one of our favorite towns near Lake Tahoe, but in all of California!
And unlike other spots in Lake Tahoe, you don’t have to start off your day at the crack of dawn while in Truckee. While the town can be busy on the weekends, it was pretty chill during the week in the summer when we were there.
14. Have brunch and coffee in Truckee
Head to downtown Truckee for brunch at Squeeze In! This tiny spot has been featured on the Food Network so it’s a super popular spot. You might have to wait a bit for a table, or get here earlier for a better chance of getting sat right away.
For coffee, we love Coffeebar (they have food also!) and Dark Horse Coffee Roasters (only waffles and pastries).
15. Drive Donner Pass
The most important thing to do in this area is to drive up Donner Pass! This road has great lake and mountain views to see along the way. Plus lots of history!
Donner Pass, as well as many other places in the area, were named after the Donner Party, a group of pioneers who migrated to California in the 1840s. When they arrived near Truckee, they hit an early snowstorm and got trapped. They are most known for resorting to cannibalism to survive, with only 40 of the 87 men, women and children surviving the trip.
16. Walk through the Donner Tunnels
Another fun thing to do while here is to explore the Donner Tunnels. Back in the 1860s, Chinese Immigrants built a series of 15 tunnels to connect the transcontinental railroad through the Sierra Nevada. This was a big success in connecting California with the rest of the country. In 1933 they stopped using the tunnels, so now you are allowed to walk through some of them. It makes for a fun and unique adventure in Lake Tahoe in the summer!
You’ll need a headlamp or flashlight since the tunnels are dark in places. Between the darkness, abandoned nature, graffiti (please do NOT add to this), and bats, it feels almost like you’re walking through an abandoned warehouse. It’s pretty creepy but super cool!
To access the trail, you will want to park in this lot, which is located just steps from the first tunnel.
17. Have ice cream at Little Truckee Ice Creamery
At Donner Lake is a great ice cream shop selling top notch ice cream! Little Truckee Ice Creamery makes amazing homemade ice cream and serves it in a cute, tree covered spot near the lake. It’s an absolute must-do when in Lake Tahoe in the summer!
18. Hang out at Donner Lake
While you’re at Donner Lake getting ice cream, stay a while to relax! While Donner Lake is much smaller than Lake Tahoe, it is surrounded by beautiful trees and mountains. West End Beach is a good spot to hang out or get on the water. Kayaks and boats can be rented from nearby Donner Lake Marina.
And be sure to visit Donner Memorial State Park while you’re here to learn more history about the Donner Party.
Tahoe City
19. Relax at the beach
Tahoe City, which is located on the west side of Lake Tahoe, is home to a couple beaches to relax at. Commons Beach is a very popular grassy beach, but for a sandy beach head to Lake Forest Beach just east of town.
20. Visit Ed Z’berg Sugar Pine Point State Park
Ed Z’berg Sugar Pine Point State Park is close to Tahoe City and is one of the best remaining natural areas on the lake. The park boasts two miles of lake frontage and another huge mansion to tour if you’d like.
The Hellman-Ehrman Mansion summer home was built in 1903 and has been super well preserved. It offers a look into what the extremely wealthy lifestyle was like over 100 years ago on Lake Tahoe. Tour tickets can be purchased at the Nature Center in the park ($15/adults, less for kids).
On top of touring the mansion you can also hike, swim, fish, during the summer in Lake Tahoe!
21. Float on the Truckee River
Something we regret not doing while in Lake Tahoe in the summer is tubing down the Truckee River!
As we passed the river while driving around the area, we saw it loaded with people in rafts and tubes! It looked like the most relaxing and fun thing to do on a warm summer day in Lake Tahoe.
You’ll float 5 miles down the river from Tahoe City to the River Ranch Restaurant. The tubing company will then shuttle you back to your car at the start. The ride is about 2-3 hours long, but you can stop along the way and get out to swim when you want to. There were several sections where the water was more shallow and didn’t even seem like it was moving. So this is definitely more of a relaxing than exhilarating ride from what we can tell.
You can book this adventure through either Truckee River Rafting or Truckee River Raft Co.
22. Eat local food in Tahoe City
Be sure to try some of the local restaurants in Tahoe City! Mountain Slice Pizzeria & Creamery, Bridgetender Tavern & Grill, and Tahoe National Brewing Company are all solid choices! We also loved the poke at BLUEFISH, a tiny spot located in a liquor store. They are only open until 3 PM though, so make sure to visit for lunch!
23. Hike the Eagle Rock Trail
While on the west side of Lake Tahoe, go for a hike on the Eagle Rock Trail! This short and sweet hike will take you to a great overlook of the lake!
Tips for visiting Lake Tahoe in the Summer
Start early
One thing we recommend for any popular tourist destination is to start early in the morning. And Lake Tahoe is no exception. It can be very busy, especially if you’re visiting Lake Tahoe in the summer! Many parking lots and trails fill by 9 AM so not only is parking difficult, but you’ll also have to share the trails and locations with many other tourists. We started our days right at sunrise and were so glad we did!
Dogs are not allowed in all areas
There are lots of great dog friendly things to do in Lake Tahoe in the summer, but not all locations allow dogs. Emerald Bay State Park and many beaches are not dog friendly for example. Check in advance if dogs are allowed and pay attention to the leash laws. Always pick up your dog’s poop and take the bag with you.
Paid parking
All throughout Lake Tahoe, lots of the beaches, trails, and state parks will have fees to park. And some of these spots are cash only. So make sure to carry a small amount of cash with you throughout your trip.
Be bear aware
There is a very healthy black bear population all around Lake Tahoe. You might spot bears in town, at campgrounds, on the beach, and along trails. We saw three bears in three days!
While black bears are typically not aggressive, make sure to be bear aware when out and about. Be sure to always give them plenty of space, and practice proper food storage. The Lake Tahoe bears are very brave when it comes to trying to get food since they are around people a lot. So please utilize bear lockers at campgrounds to store anything with a scent. A fed bear is a dead bear!
Avoid 4th of July if Possible
When you’re planning your getaway to Lake Tahoe this summer, try your best to avoid the week/weekend of 4th of July. It is by far the busiest week for tourists and you will have a much less enjoyable time always fighting for parking and space on the trails/beaches.
Our most recent visit to Lake Tahoe was just after the 4th of July. And while it was busy, we still had some seclusion by getting up early!
What to bring to visit Lake Tahoe in the Summer
You can see all of the products we use and love on our gear page, but some items we would especially recommend are hiking shoes (Lowa Renegade GTX boots or ALTRA Lone Peak 8 trail runners), layers, rain jacket, offline AllTrails map, sun protection, bug spray, water storage and filter.
A pool floaty is also a MUST have (in our opinion) to float in the area’s lakes. It brought us SO much joy!
Planning your summer trip to Lake Tahoe
How to get to Lake Tahoe
Lake Tahoe is located in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, right on the California and Nevada border. If you’re flying to Lake Tahoe, we’d recommend flying into the Reno-Tahoe International Airport, as it has the most flight options. You’ll then want to rent a car for your time in Lake Tahoe. Any type of car will work well for this trip! From the airport, it is anywhere from a 40 minute to 1.5 hour drive.
The Sacramento International Airport in California is also an option if you can get a better flight there, but it will be a longer drive. This airport is 103 miles (just under 2 hours) from South Lake Tahoe and 113 miles (just under 2 hours) from North Lake Tahoe.
If you’re driving to Lake Tahoe, here’s how long you can expect to drive from nearby popular destinations. Lake Tahoe is a great add-on from an Eastern Sierra Road Trip!
Note: All driving distances are to South Lake Tahoe.
Mammoth Lakes, CA: 3 hours (148 miles)
San Francisco, CA: 3.5 hours (188 miles)
Yosemite National Park (Yosemite Valley): 4.5 hours (193 miles)
Redding, CA: 4.5 Hours (263 miles)
Kings Canyon National Park: 5.5 hours (308 miles)
Sequoia National Park: 6 hours (332 miles)
Getting around Lake Tahoe
Lake Tahoe is large and can take a lot of time to get around to the different areas. Try sticking to one general area each day, so you waste less time driving from place to place. But you’ll likely have to drive a bit from day to day to get to your next area, depending on where you’re staying.
We highly recommend having a car to get around Lake Tahoe in the summer, whether it’s your own or a rental car. Having your own car will give you the most freedom, but parking can sometimes be a challenge and often will cost money.
While Uber and Lyft do operate around the lake, the cost will add up quickly. There are other free options that take a bit longer but will allow you to see more of the area.
The north, east, and south shores all offer public transportation options. The routes and schedules are listed on the Tahoe Transportation District website and Tahoe Area Regional Transit. There are even options to get you to Truckee. All rides on TART are free, but reservations are sometimes required depending on the route you choose.
Finally, Lake Link offers a free rideshare service around the South Shore between South Lake Tahoe and Stateline, Nevada.
How much time do you need in Lake Tahoe?
If you have 3 days in Lake Tahoe in the summer, you will get a good taste of what the area has to offer. However, we recommend spending as much time as possible here! Part of the beauty of this area is that you can do a mix of relaxing, as well as more strenuous activities.
Where to stay in Lake Tahoe in the Summer
There are many options for where to stay in Lake Tahoe. You can stay in one spot the whole time or pick two areas.
By staying in one spot, you will have more driving some days, but also less packing and unpacking. Plus, you can sometimes get a better rate on a vacation rental if you’re staying longer.
If you hop around and stay in multiple places, you could eliminate some driving. We’d suggest your first nights in South Lake Tahoe and then your second half of the trip stay somewhere more north near Incline Village, Kings Beach, Tahoe City, or Truckee.
Here are some suggested places to stay in all of the major areas, for all lodging types.
