1. Emerald Bay State Park
2. Eagle Lake
3. D.L. Bliss State Park
4. Rubicon Trail.
5. Sugar Pine Point State Park
6. Gatekeeper's Museum
7. Olympic Valley
8. Truckee
9. Magic Carpet Golf
10. Speedboat Beach
11. Sand Harbor
12. Cave Rock
13. Heavenly Gondola
14. South Lake Tahoe Restaurants
15. Tallac Historic Site
16. Glen Alpine Falls
17. Cascade Falls

Yes to all that commented on keeping the beaches and lake clean. Why is it so hard to pack up your garbage and either take back out with you or find a garbage can? Happy I found this channel today!

I lived in South Lake Tahoe in the late 70s. I fell in love with the place. I visit now and then. I spend a lot of time picking up after people. It's heart breaking.

Roy B There need to be littering citations like traffic tickets and they should be strictly reinforced as well. That should take care of the grownups. As for kinds, I wish they can cane them like in Singapore but that will never happen. Make them do community services and pick up trash. That will teach them something.

What the hell is with that, I have not been back since the 70s, but people throw trash every were, and there are trash cans 4 ft away? Santa Monica, Malibu, trash ever were, ft from trash cans? WTF

I’ve been going camping here and snowboarding since I was a little kid. Angora Lakes are another beautiful place to visit up in the mountains past fallen leaf lake. Beautiful lakes, but very cold all the time, with cliff jumps at 30’ 50’ and almost 60’ feet.

Taylor Creek, next to the Tallac Historic Site, is a nice area to visit and you can see the salmon running in the fall. It has easy trails to walk along the creek and out to the shores of Lake Tahoe, along with a National Forest Service visitor center with helpful rangers.

Great video. I love Lake Tahoe. I make a few trips to MacDuff's every time I'm in South Lake Tahoe. Two things to order there is their Shepherd's Pie and their fried fish plate of haddock. Also, Sonny's Bar-B-Que is very good and I always like to experience Fire & Ice Mongolian grill in Heavenly Village. And at Kings Beach I usually stop at The Grid Bar & Grill. It's something of a dive, but it's my kind of dive.

A couple of my favorites are, The Beacon, by Richardson’s Camp and Revive! The Beacon has a beautiful beach and patio where they used to play music and I love their Bloody Marry!!! They have their own mix and it’s fabulous!!! Revive is a great peaceful place to do just that...revive! Kick back, relax with a coffee, tea or beer & like I always say to, “Revive at Revive”!lol! 😁
