Motel 6 South Lake Tahoe

This park was beautiful. We parked far away and hiked in. you have to get to the parking lots early or they do tend to fill up. We hiked about 1.5 miles to Emerald Bay. We stopped at a seculded beach for a private swim. This was in July, but the lake is so deep it's always cold. After the walk though it felt good. We walked to a waterfall area that was pretty neat and went into a old respot or house when we were at Emerald Bay. It was a great park and a great day. Take a lunch, take the kids (there were a lot of families there) and plan to spend some time. There are tons of parks on lake tahoe but we thought (and were told) this was one of the best.
