It'll give you access to waterfront dining like Jake's on the Lake, beaches like Commons Beach, water sports like kayaking and stand up paddle boarding on the lake or rafting on the Truckee River, and parks such as Sugar Pine Point all the way down the west shore of Lake Tahoe. We came upon this trail while we were camping at Tahoe SRA. The trail goes right by the campground and snakes down to the lake. The campground host told us that if we wanted to use the park's pier or rent kayaks at Commons Beach, we'd have to go down this trail. We did and found that it's great for all of those things. We even went down the trail a little after 10 pm to take a look at the stars. We saw the Big Dipper, the North Star, and the Milky Way! If you're in Tahoe City, bike or walk on this trail!

We started at our Campground at William Kent and then continued West along the Truckee River all the way to The River Ranch Lodge.

There's lots of opportunities to walk down paths and get closer to the river as well.

Looked to Yelp to help me find a tour that worked for us and happy to find Tahoe Lake Tours! Booking online was easy enough. Looking on Wednesday for a Friday morning time slot and there it was: 9:30-1:30 was perfect. The web site states exactly what will happen during the 4 hours and offers a phone number to call for questions. Parking and check in were easy and Captain Dan was ready for us. The boat was clean and well stocked with life jackets that fit for both adults and children (ages 8,6,4) as well as water bottles. Before leaving the dock we were offered water for a cooler which we didn't need but the offer was appreciated. Our 4 hours: 1. Safety information 2. Review of our preferences for the tour 3. Lots of history of the area as we toured 4. Emerald Bay & Mrs. Knights castle 5. Water tubing (first time for the grandkids) 6. Hang out time for a snack (we brought lots LOL) 7. Back to the marina Dan was very knowledgeable and great with the kids. We would definitely book with Tahoe Lake Tours again and request Captain Dan. Thank you for a great ending to our week in Tahoe!

Captain Troy was accommodating, kind, hospitable, professional and knowledgeable. He took us to breathtaking sites including Emerald Bay, Fannette Island, Vikingsholm, and Rubicon Bay. We enjoyed swimming in the crystal water and never felt rushed. He provided swim floaties, a cooler with cold beverages, and let us take our time to have so much fun. He even called in advance to accommodate a better start time to ensure we had the best weather. We could not have asked for a more perfect day. Booking was easy and he answered all my questions beforehand. We highly recommend this company.

The Tahoe Yacht Club location is 'smack' on the Lake. Their interior is a typical with memorabilia as you will find any where - and very inviting. You can sit at the bar or at ample and comfortable tables/chairs and view (in this case the Monday game) from multiple flatscreens and monitors. Or you can venture out on to their lakefront deck and have a commanding vista of the Lake - in all directions. The Club offers a full bar and very attentive staff (male and female) to make your fave-bev. Prices are unbeatable - remember - this is a private club. The Club does not have it's own kitchen, thus most others this evening were invited to BYO - fantastic: chips, dips, salads, casaroles (spelling, sorry) AND something called the YACHT dog (can you figure out what that means? Nothing complicated - but for $1 and all the condiments - I splurged for 2). The evening was about as hospitable as Tahoe City can offer. Thank you TYC. I may even join, with or without a boat.

I graduated from high school 46 years ago, but based on my experience today, the high school…read morestudents of today may have the edge on me. We were looking for Burton Creek State Park, and the instructions in the park tour book said that the trail starts from North Tahoe High School. So we drive along North Lake Rd, make a left on Old Mill Rd, and another left on Polaris, and voila, there's a nice recently paved road and parking lot in front of the school. We drive around and no trail to be seen. Have the wife check with a teenager and her friends and they say the trail is next to the parking lot. Drive completely around the vast parking lot and school and run into the same teenager. Embarassed, I have the wife ask again. The teen rolls her eyes. Dumb and dumber! She says its on the side of the parking lot near the soccer field. We find the trail, just touching the edge of the parking lot a ways from the soccer field. No signs, until we are 100 yards along the path. Sign says no motorbikes but mountain bicycles OK, and dogs OK. Wide trail, the right size for a service trail, with gradual inclines, and relatively smooth. No big boulders nor obstacles along the 5 mile loop through the deep forests, with maps at every intersection, and glimpses to the south of the vast blue Lake Tahoe. A very few people walking the dog, but lots of mountain bicyclists, during our 2 hour walk through the vast forests. Turns out this is a hiking/mountain bike park in the summer, and a cross country ski area in the winter, hence the trail maps, and absence of boulders and shrubbery along the service road wide areas of the pathway. No toilets, no drinking water, but plenty of privacy to do your thing in the bushes. We stop for a lunch break, but quickly change our minds, as the yellow jackets are out in force -at least the wife didn't get stung during a pit stop, where the sun don't shine!. The last part of the trail back to the connecting trail to the high school is a killer - a very steep uphill incline more suited for downhill skiing than cross country skiing. No mountain bike going up that incline! Arriving at the high school, my wife takes a wrong step and lands her new hiking boot in a some wet asphalt pooling on the edge of the just paved parking lot. She takes off her shoe, and is attacked by a swarm of yellow jackets. She launches into a tirade that would make Trump blush. I have to drive the car over to rescue her and her tarred boot, which is finished for this trip! Welcome to high school!

The castle option was fun for the whole family, would opt for this one again. I recommend a hat/sunscreen if it's summer weather, there is some shade during the course from the trees though. There's a lot of fun elements to the course, like the spider that lowers to try to block your shot. After the course we deposited our golf balls in the Last Hole slot machine (see picture) I thought that was a fun way to end the course (chance to win a free game). We then played some pinball and the kiddos enjoyed spending quarters in the toy capsule machines. They have an ATM and also a cash changer if you need quarters.
