Murillo Pontual: This is a great dogs park in Tahoe. They have free parking. The dogs park is separated in three parts: little dogs, large dogs and active activities section. My dogs had a lots of fun in the exercise area. I highly recommend it.
William Johnson: Wonderful overlook with stunning views. The road is one lane and requires pulling over when another vehicle is going the opposite direction. Also the the first couple hundred feet of the road is gravel with lots of potholes, but then turns into blacktop the rest of the way. Dont let the first part of the road discourage you. The drive is totally worth it. The reward of the overlook is spectacular! Highly recommend!
Alexis Roucourt: Gotta love landmarks that dont update their opening season details and waste peoples time. Sure, magnificent spot but suggest to call ahead: maps says open until 4pm today and the attached photo is the sad reality.
Daniel Flores: We were fortunate to have rented a house near the High Meadow Trailhead, which turned out to be an excellent choice for our Labor Day weekend. The trail offers a combination of access roads and actual trails that are suitable for most visitors. The trailhead split at the end of the road and further down the dirt road provides decent parking facilities.
Although Lake Tahoe is not visible from this trail, it winds through the mountains, making it worth the effort. Its a popular spot for locals, with mountain bikers and trail runners sharing the space with hikers. The main trail follows Cold Creek, a charming little creek that flows up into the mountains.
The combination of trails and landscapes makes this place special. Although the presence of bikers can be a little annoying, the stunning scenery is worth it. My crew enjoyed the wide and soft areas for running, but even I enjoyed a leisurely walk in the woods. Since most of the trails are not a loop, its essential to pace yourself.
Overall, we were pleased to have discovered this gem in the rural part of South Lake Tahoe. It was a refreshing change to encounter many locals on the trail. Its advisable to bring water since there are no water fountains on the trail. High Meadow Trailhead is a fantastic mountain forest trail, as long as you steer clear of the bikes.
Ryan Stephens: This is a beautiful spot to hike. From the parking lot to Winnemucca Lake is an easy 2.5 miles with little elevation change.
Part of the trail is shared with the famous PCT.
If you come during the right time of the year you will be treated with amazing high Sierra meadows full of wildflowers.
Snow can last long into summer, although the trail is normally clear by July.
Kelly L: Wish I had brought a waterproof camera bag to take photos from the tea house. We arrived by boat, anchored out, and swam to the island. The hike up was rocky but short. Very crowded. A lot of people were barefoot and looked just fine, but I was glad to be in Keens. Interesting story behind the structure and worth a visit to Vikingholm.
Maria Prince: This trail will take you to the beautiful Cascade Falls. The hike up to the trail is easy to moderate depending on endurance and strength in order to be able to climb up and down steep rocks. The pathway has a lot of sand which makes the hike a bit slippery without proper shoes. The trail is on the side of the mountain which allows a perfect view of Emerald Bay as you make your way up and down the falls. We spent some time just viewing the gorgeous lake and the falls. Overall it is a beautiful place to hike. Make sure to get there early as parking is limited. There is a fee of $10, and will allow access to Bay View Trail, Desolation Trail and Inspiration Point.
Town Traveller: Beautiful museum and you will learn alot about the history of Lake Tahoe. From the socialites who build their summer homes to the ships that sank into the lake. It also has the largest collection of native american baskets!
Trey Joe (Adventure Hermit): I went here expecting to see random railroad tracks. Instead, these are tracks running from the boathouse to launch boats. Still very much worth it. The park also has two miles of beach front to walk with many other sites to see.
Jen Wheelock: It’s a narrow road with potholes to get there but it’s worth the drive. It does not have a lot of parking. However you can park down by the Ranger building. At least you can in April. I suggest going on a weekday. Not crowded. We went in April so the waterfall was flowing strong.
