 Spectacular views of the lake |
Highway 50 Lake Tahoe, NV 89413 United States |
This wonderful day-use facility is located just south of the Cave Rock tunnel. The name originated from a series of small caves that had been cut away on the west side of the mountain when the lake elevation was 140 feet higher than it is today. This took place during the last Ice Age. The boat ramp makes the lake accessible for watercraft of all sizes. You will find all the comforts necessary to make it an enjoyable outing including restrooms, picnic tables complete with fire pits and barbecues, a small beach and spectacular views. Dogs are welcome as long as they are kept leashed. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The jewel of Tahoe |
Highway 89 Lake Tahoe, CA 96150 United States +1 530 525 7277 |
Majestic Emerald Bay is just a small part of this beautiful and pristine State Park covering 1,830 acres of the Sierra Nevada mountains. You will find six miles of both rocky and sandy beaches on the magnificent shoreline of Lake Tahoe. Also available to visitors are picnic areas, camping and miles of hiking trails. Enjoy nature and see the beautiful variety of trees and plants that are indigenous to the Lake Tahoe area. Along with the Ponderosa and Jeffrey pines, red and white fir, cedar, junipers and cottonwood, the park is brimming 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 that balances precariously on a slender stone base. This has been a favorite attraction since the late 1800s. It's a short and easy half-mile, self-guided walk that shouldn't be missed. Plan on spending the entire day, because once you get here, you won't want to leave. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Crystal clear waters |
455 North Lake Boulevard (35 miles west of Reno) Lake Tahoe, CA 96145 United States |
Lake Tahoe, which holds enough water to cover the state of California to a depth of 14 inches, was once named 'big water' by the Washoe Indian Tribe. This beautiful, pristine lake, nestled in the Sierra Nevada, is located on the Nevada and California border. The lake is 22 miles long, 12 miles wide and has 72 miles of shoreline. Sixty-three streams flow into the lake; but only one river, the Truckee, flows out of it. One-third of the lake lies in Nevada, and there are miles of biking, hiking and equestrian trails for your outdoor pleasure. Enjoy a multitude of beaches where you can bask in the sun or swim. Whether you come here for recreation or solitude, this breathtakingly beautiful lake will meet all your expectations. Review © 2007, Wcities |
