  • The video showcases 17 of my favorite places to explore in Lake Tahoe in the summer. Lake Tahoe is one of my favorite areas of California and I have been coming to its shores for years now. Each time I find a new place to explore, so this video is a culmination of my last 3-4 trips to the area. Let me know what your favorite spot is in the comments.
    The spots listed in this video are:
    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.

      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.

    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.
