Lake Tahoe All Year Long

Whether you’re chasing sun-drenched adventures or snow-dusted scenery, Lake Tahoe offers something unforgettable in every season. Nestled in the Sierra Nevada mountains, this alpine destination straddling California and Nevada is a year-round playground, it just depends on your mood (and your gear).

Here are three things you must absolutely do in both summer and winter when visiting Lake Tahoe.

Summer Must-Dos

1.       Kayak or Paddleboard on the Lake

Rent a kayak or a paddleboard and explore hidden coves, amazing rock formations, and picturesque beaches. Sand Harbor and Emerald Bay are fan favorites for good reason – stunning views, calm water, and plenty of photo ops.

2.       Hike to Eagle Lake

Start from the Eagle Falls trailhead and make the moderate hike to Eagle Lake – a serene, glacier-fed gem nestled in the mountains. It’s perfect for a morning adventure with wildflowers, waterfalls, and sweeping views of Emerald Bay along the way.

3.       Hit the Beach

Yes, Lake Tahoe has actual beaches, and they’re stunning. Kings Beach, Zephyr Voce, and Pope Beach are all ideal for sunbathing, swimming, or simply kicking back with a book. Don’t forget your SPF, and maybe a beach umbrella!

Winter Must-Dos

1.       Ski or Snowboard at Heavenly

Tahoe becomes a snow globe in the winter, and Heavenly Mountain Resort is one of the best ways to enjoy it. With over 4,800 skiable acres and panoramic lake views from the slope, it’s an experience that lives up to the name.

2.       Take a Snowshoe Hike

For a quieter take on winter, rent snowshoes and hit the trails. Chickadee Ridge and Taylor Creek offer peaceful routes through snow-laden forests – perfect for spotting wildlife and soaking in the alpine stillness.

3.       Ride the Gondola to the Top

The Heavenly Gondola isn’t just for skiers. Take the scenic ride up for jaw-dropping views of the lake and surrounding mountains. Grab a hot cocoa at the top, take some photos, and enjoy the crisp mountain air.

One Destination, Two Seasons of Wonder

Whether you’re paddling through sapphire waters or carving through fresh powder, Lake Tahoe proves that every season has its magic. It’s the kind of place that draws you back, no matter the weather
