Lake Tahoe is a large freshwater lake located between California and Nevada. Its depth is 1,645ft making it the second deepest lake in the United States after Crater Lake in Oregon.

My Experience:

I went to Lake Tahoe from Thursday, May 6th to Sunday, May 9th, with a group of friends that went to WVU. I have never seen water so beautiful, crisp, clear, and clean. It was mesmerizing. We stayed at the Marriott Grand Residence Club in Heavenly, South Lake Tahoe, California. Unfortunately, it was too cold for us to swim and too hot to go skiing; however, we made the most out of our experience regardless. Kayaking and hiking are two fun activities that we all got to experience. Listed below are ten things to do in Lake Tahoe!

1- Enjoy Views of Emerald Bay from a Helicopter- BOOK THE TOUR

There might not be a better way to take in the beauty of Lake Tahoe than from a helicopter.

2- Experience Lake Tahoe from a Transparent Kayak- BOOK THE TOUR

There are tons of hiking trails in Lake Tahoe. The two hiking trails I recommend are the Tunnel Creek Trail and Emerald Point Trail.

The Tunnel Creek Trail is a 4.7-mile out-and-back hike near Incline Village on the Tahoe Flume Trail. This moderate hike has become known as the home to Monkey Rock, a rock formation in the shape of a gorilla’s head overlooking the lake.

 Emerald Point Trail is a 4.4-mile trail near South Lake Tahoe, California, featuring the lake.
