Lake Tahoe is a crown jewel of the Sierra. Formed approximately two million years ago, it’s the largest alpine lake in North America and the second deepest in the United States. North Lake Tahoe features:

  • Incredibly scenery spanning two states
  • Two dozen beaches
  • 12 ski resorts
  • Hundreds of miles of mountain biking trails
  • Half a dozen communities
  • Growing number of nationally recognized human-powered events, festivals and races — including the Blueprint for Athletes Tahoe Trail MTB

 
Check the list below for all the things to see, hear, do and explore during your visit.

Ale Trail
Whether you pedal, paddle or hike, the watering hole at the end of a long day exploring is the incentive that pushes many adventurers through that last mile. The innovative North Lake Tahoe Ale Trail Campaign offers the perfect pairing of singletrack and suds or paddling and pints. Boasting an interactive online map and video series, visitors and locals are inspired to experience new trails and tours, followed by a drink at one of the north shore’s favorite summer après destinations. The campaign highlights North Tahoe’s burgeoning craft beer scene along with its world-class hiking, mountain biking, road cycling and kayaking options.

Summer activities
The North Lake Tahoe summer season is in full swing after the wettest winter on record, resulting in an abundance of wildflowers, year-round skiing and lake levels that exceed Lake Tahoe’s natural rim by multiple feet. Water recreationists will surely enjoy the extra 750 billion gallons of water in the lake this year. Locals abide by the saying, “We came for the winter, but stayed permanently because of summer.” The sentiment rings true for many return visitors as well, and for the newbies there has truly never been a better time to experience the north shore.
