The Tahoe Queen is a paddleboat moored at the end of Ski Run Road. This line is unique as it runs every day of the year. Part music and dancing, part dinner cruise, part guided tour ... this boat has it all! We went on the sunset dinner cruise, and had a wedding onboard the Queen. They cordoned off part of the thrid deck (top) and arranged seating for our guests. The captain and crew were amazing to us as we prepped for the ceremony, the captain even gave us his office behind the wheel house to hide the bride and perform our final wedding prep! The groom was hinding in the little gift shop 2 decks below us, which is on the same deck as the band who played dance music as the boat cruised about. With the music playing, other folks on the cruise danced on the top deck, and on the dancefloor below. The lower deck was the dining room for our dinner cruise. Other passengers joined in wishing our bride and groom best wishes: the couple there for their first anniversary, the Korean golfers from LA who were gambling and dancing, the children playing, and even the band! As the colors of sunset faded, we sat down for the second dinner seating and our meal. The wedding cake was brought in by our party, and the food provided by the ship's crew was yummy! We were provided with select tables inthe rear of the dining room with windows that overlooked the lake, and even out at the paddles that move the boat. As dusk fell we ate, enjoyed our wedding reception, and visited. We returned to dock about 11pm and were full, happy and simply pleased with our excursion, and our event. The folks of the Tahoe Queen were amazing, the scenery was stunning, and the company was beyond wonderful :) My description of our guided tour made this tip too long, so look elsewhere in my tips for that part of the cruise. The attached website is an overview of the various cruises offered in this part of Lake Tahoe ... enjoy! Leave a Comment

 South Lake Tahoe by Geoff_Wright Having driven to Lake Tahoe from Nevada, I found most of the places I had intended to stop at were not really convenient. For instance, some of those places (located from my map) were obstructed by road works! I drove through Stateline, Nevada, and shortly afterwards saw a rest area which was easy to drive into, complete with free car park, and restrooms. There was also a icecream van parked up. In that heat, an iced Coke never tasted so good! Leave a Comment

 Lake Tahoe by chewy3326 In my opinion, there is no better viewpoint of Lake Tahoe than Cave Rock State Park. The park is actually in Nevada, and sits at the foot of Cave Rock; parking is supposedly $5, but there was no one there to collect fees, so we got in for free. From the parking lot, there is a beautiful view across the lake to Mt. Tallac and the peaks of the Desolation Wilderness. To the north is Cave Rock, which US 50 tunnels through. While you're here, be sure to peer down into the lake; 50 years ago, visitors could look over 90 feet down. Today, visibility in Lake Tahoe has been reduced to less than 60 feet, mainly due to pollution and development on the lake's south shore. Leave a Comment Directions: Northeast of South Lake Tahoe in Nevada, via US 50.

 Pope Beach by TravelSimone Pope Beach along the south shore of Lake Tahoe is a really nice large beach. The sand and water are clean. There are plenty of restrooms, bbq's and picnic tables available. No dogs allowed. It costs $5 to park your car. During peak holiday periods (like 4th of July week) the parking lot is generally full by 12:30. Leave a Comment Address: Hwy 89Directions: ~ 2 miles north of South Lake Tahoe "Y".

 People and Canada Geese! by Geoff_Wright What a view! I sat here, drinking my iced Coke, and writing my postcards at the table provided. Strange, too, that I bought the cards in Virginia City, Nevada, wrote them in California, and posted them in Nevada! I could have stayed at this spot for ages, but I had to move on. The water looked inviting too. Leave a Comment Directions: Highway 50, between Stateline, Nevada, and South Lake Tahoe itself.

 Rewarded for just being there. by lmkluque Lake Tahoe is surrounded by beauty and from any location the views are spectacular! Whether you are a nature lover or a city dweller, like me, there is a time a place for you at the Lake. The farthest you need to hike for this view, is up a few steps, through the restauant and out on the dining deck. Of course, for those who love the outdoor trails the views are just as exciting and satisfying. Leave a Comment Address: South Lake Tahoe

 Lake Tahoe scenery by AussieKitten View of Lake Tahoe from the surrounding mountains. I would recommend renting a jet ski or perhaps taking a cruise around the lake on the paddle boat from the Zephyr Cove Beach. This beach has sand, friendly Canadian Geese, beach volleyball, and shacks to buy snacks and drink (alcoholic and non-alcoholic). Their alcoholic shakers are a must for the size and price :) Leave a Comment Directions: Zephyr Cove, near South Lake Tahoe
