at south lake tahoe you can water-ski, perhaps
reenacting the infamous Fonzie-jumping-the-shark
episode of "happy days." or be a little more
Xgames-y and try wakeboarding. maybe take a
stand-up paddleboarding lesson and glide across
the lake’s surface with dignity.
or take the opportunity to climb aboard a kayak,
sailboat, or historic paddle wheeler for a sunset cruise.
if that sounds utterly sleep-inducing, may we suggest
hopping on a speedboat at Zephyr Cove going fast
enough to make your lips flap in the breeze.
not predatory enough? go fishing! With visibility
to 75 feet below its surface, lake tahoe is home to
more fish than you can shake a pole at. Just be on the
lookout for tahoe tessie—the dragon-dinosaur that is
rumored to swim in tahoe’s depths.
Whatever kind of aquatic adventure you embark on,
finish up with a south lake tahoe tradition: tacos at
regan beach. if anyone looks at you funny when you’re
stuffing tacos in your mouth, just nod your head sagely
and tell them “it’s restorative.”
In case you didn’t know, there’s a lake
up here. A big lake. We know—how
unexpected. A beautiful, clear lake that you
can splash around in to your heart’s content,
along with plenty of other activities.

a family-friendly destination, lake tahoe's south
shore offers everything from arcades to helicopter
tours. We’ve got hot-air balloons, special events, and
even miniature golf.
or get those kids back to nature. take ’em biking
by the lake or hiking up the rubicon trail. Finish the
day with s’mores around the campfire and take part
in the time-honored tradition of spooking the whole
family with swear-they’re-true ghost stories. not in
the mood to rough it? head out on the town for
dinner at one of the many family-friendly restaurants.
there’s just as much to do in winter: sledding, snow
tubing, ice skating and school—ski school, that is.
south lake tahoe’s ski resorts have ski instruction for
all levels, as well as kids’ camps. there’s even day care
for little ones as young as two months.
Whatever the season, tahoe south is an
unbeatable family destination with gazillions of
activities. in fact, your kids are likely to crash early
from all the excitement, giving you some hard-earned
grown-up time in the evening. how’s that for the gift
that keeps on giving?
FAmIly Funtahoe south isn’t just for the young at
heart—actual children can have a great
time here, too. And if you bring your
kids, no one will look at you funny when
you start a snowball fight or a game of
marco Polo in the lake.

free of vegas-style glitz, tahoe south is the place
to get your game on. you may feel slightly virtuous
after spending the day in the great outdoors: time to
undo that feeling. if ever there was a place to rally,
lake tahoe south shore is it. our hotels and casinos
attract big-name entertainment, so you can catch a
headline show and follow the performance with an
indulgent meal at one of our top-notch restaurants.
or bring your tired-out hiking legs into a luxury spa
for a pampering massage, made even sweeter by the
knowledge that you’re not sleeping in a tent. yay for
civilization! tahoe south has the best of both worlds:
natural scenery that borders on the ridiculously
beautiful, coupled with nightlife that doesn’t quit. if
you play your cards right, you can experience both
sides of the coin in one day (see what we did there?).
all bets are decidedly on.
calling all high rollers and slot pullers,
dice-kissers and poker faces.

tahoe south is just getting started. From nightclubs
with go-go dancers and bottle service to hipster dive
bars with excellent jukeboxes, the night is always
young at lake tahoe south shore. We know, we know.
you spent all day hiking or skiing or riding a bike down
a trail. dig deep. it’s time for your second (and third,
and fourth) wind. give your liver a pep talk: it’s time to
make some fantastically bad decisions. the night’s not
over until karaoke and arm wrestling enter the picture.
tahoe south is a fan of the kinds of vacations that
make you say, “i need a vacation from my vacation.”
tahoe south wants to see you in its casinos, its pubs,
and its dance clubs, shaking your thang out on the
floor, with a blissful smile on your face that says “sleep
is for the weak!”
you think tahoe south climbs into a
sleeping bag when the sun goes down?
think again.

south lake tahoe is dotted with working studios and
exhibiting galleries, though you’re just as likely to
find local artists and crafters showing their work at
one of the many festivals while the weather is warm.
live performances take center stage at the annual
valhalla arts, music and theatre Festival. once a
favorite getaway for northern California’s elite in
the late 1800s, the historic valhalla grand hall and
boathouse theatre have been transformed into tahoe
south's art and cultural center for more than 30 years.
tahoe south’s culture extends beyond all this
artsy-fartsy stuff. For a rich history and a majestic
landscape, those seeking authentic local experiences
don’t have to look far. stay at historic Camp richardson
resort, which has provided city folk a lakefront
retreat since 1924, or tour vikingsholm, another
grand estate of the 1920s in emerald bay.
For local character and sustainable tourism,
nothing beats the great outdoors. hike the tahoe
rim trail or take a nature walk through d.l. bliss
state park. Just be sure you only talk to humans—
the bears don’t want to chat.
It’s easy to see why tahoe south is
home to a thriving arts scene: a striking
landscape saturated with color, a
laid-back, natural vibe, and some good
old-fashioned mountain eccentricity. It’s
a recipe for a decidedly unpretentious
creative community.

explore the tahoe south region on a motorcycle tour,
and you’ll be smitten. drink in the wind as you lean into
a curve, watching the highway unspool in front of you.

rolls in here and beckons hundreds of classic cars
back each year for a nostalgic trip to the days of
rock ’n’ roll and cruising the drag.

far-less-traveled two-lane highways that meander
through the sierra in several directions. go up and
over mountain passes, through dappled forest light,
and catch your breath at vistas that beg to be
photographed. or just live in the moment and drive
or ride on.
Drive and ride enthusiasts know that you
can’t truly love a place ’til you’ve driven

starting as early as mid-november tahoe south is
transformed to a snow-covered winter wonderland.
Celebrate winter in the sierra by skiing, sledding,
snowmobiling or ice skating. oh, so you’re
a special snowflake non-conformist? you think
snowboarding is too pedestrian? What about these
lesser-known winter activities? human sled bowling
(sculpt ‘pins’ out of snow, place at bottom of hill, ride
sled into pins), snowball Fight Flash mob, or snow
unicorn Contest (snowmen are played out, no?).
you can even heed the call of the wild and go dog-
sledding. (note: it is not recommended to hook your
children up to a dogsled and shout “mush!” at them,
even if it would be hilarious.) remember: a flask is
not a replacement for a parka. bundle up!
grab a spiked hot cocoa, a handful of snow,
and embrace the chill at tahoe south.
