One of our favorite bar and restaurants because of the location right on the Truckee river. They have a large stone patio with walk up barbecue menu on the patio during the summer months that is very popular with rafters ending their float trips from Tahoe City.

The best spring and summer hike in Tahoe! You can choose the strenuous version going up and back or take the Squaw Valley tram up and have a nice hike back down to the valley floor. Dog friendly too (even the gondola).

Iconic Scandinavian home built in the early 20th century at the edge of Emerald Bay. Vikingsholm Castle is a 38-room home that is long considered as one of the finest and most incredible examples of Scandinavian architecture in the United States. Vikingsholm Castle was built in 1929 by Mrs. Lora Knight, and still holds some of its original features, symbolic of 11th century stone churches in southern Sweden. A National landmark, Vikingsholm is a one mile steep walk on a downhill dirt road from Highway 89 at Emerald Bay. It is a State Park and offers tours daily in the summer. You can hike down to Emerald Bay and walk the perimeter of the building without tour reservations however.

Sand Harbor State Park on the Eastshore Nevada side of the lake offers very popular sandy beaches, crystal-clear water and interesting rock formations for a great day outing with swimming, kayaking and sunbathing. Boats for water-skiers and fisherman can easily launch from one of the park’s two ramps. Plan to leave early though because the parking lot fills quickly in the summer months. The park also hosts the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival every summer.

Sugar Pine Point State Park contains one of the finest remaining natural areas on Lake Tahoe. With nearly two miles of lake frontage, the park has dense forests of pine, fir, aspen and juniper. Another attraction is the Hellman-Ehrman Mansion (also known as Pine Lodge), a summer home built in 1903 in a grove of pine and cedar. From the turn of the century until 1965, the lands of what is now Ed Z'berg - Sugar Pine Point State Park were owned by financier Isaias W. Hellman, and later by his daughter Florence Hellman Ehrman. The mansion provides an interesting view into the historic summer vacation lifestyles of on Lake Tahoe.
