Lake Tahoe, CA

With crystal-clear water that reflects the color of the sky, California’s breathtaking North Lake Tahoe is North America’s largest alpine lake and the second-deepest lake in the United States.

Here, recreational opportunities abound for water lovers, who can enjoy boating, sea-kayak tours, sunset-sailing tours, lakeside picnics, invigorating lake swims, water skiing and jet skiing. Surrounding Lake Tahoe, the Sierra Nevada mountains offer hiking, fishing, golfing and mountain biking in the summer - and in the winter, seven alpine ski resorts and seven cross-country ski resorts draw visitors from all over the world.

Lake Tahoe also offers its share of local attractions, making this an exciting destination for reuniting families and creating lasting memories. Take tours of Vikingsholm Castle and Thunderbird Lodge, or enjoy Tahoe’s many festivals — the Jazz Festival, the Shakespeare Festival, the Snow Festival and the Valhalla Arts & Music Festival. Dining, shopping, sightseeing and gambling on the lake’s Nevada side make Lake Tahoe perfect for year-round fun.
