Hiking
Surrounding the Lake
Tahoe Basin are hundreds of miles of hiking trails ranging from easy to
strenuous, that branch off into unspoiled wilderness area, monitored by the
U.S. Forest Service. Explore our world renowned trails such as the Tahoe
Rim Trail or the Flume Trail. For those looking for something a little
easier, take a stroll on one of the paved paths along the lake. Regardless
of what your heart desires, hiking at Lake Tahoe offers a little something
for everyone.

Fishing
Get a line wet and
try your luck with catching a Mackinaw (Lake Trout), which is the main
attraction at Lake Tahoe, and the most famous Mackinaw lake in the west.
"Macks" from three to five pounds are an everyday occurrence, six
to ten pounds are quite common, and fish of 20 pounds or larger are a very
real possibility. Mackinaw are true "Giants of the Deep" and
provide very exciting fishing year round on Lake Tahoe.

Camping

much good camping as just about anywhere on earth. But what really makes it
special here is the amount of truly great camping sites you'll find.

Golf
They say, at 6,000'
elevation, the golf ball travels 25 yards farther on a drive!! Lake Tahoe
offers the perfect condition for that golf shot you'll remember for a
lifetime. General guide is to hit one club less than you would at sea
level. So, when packing for your trip, don't forget the clubs.

Tennis
Due to the elevation
of the lake, playing a round of tennis will surely get the heart pumping.
There are a number of private tennis courts around the lake, and in the
valley, that offer a wonderful playing experience for any skill level.

Mountain Biking
Mountain biking at
Lake Tahoe is not just a sport, it's a lifestyle! Bike paths, dirt roads,
single tracks and bike parks are all around the lake. There are many scenic
and mellow rides and plenty of steep, rocky treks in the mountains. Some
ski resorts have bike parks where you can buy a lift ticket,
"ride" effortlessly to the summit and then careen your way down
dusty ski trails. There are even companies that offer guided backcountry
tours ranging from hours to days.
