Enjoy the scenery at Lake Tahoe

Lake Tahoe is one of the best things to do in Nevada. The sparkling blue water of Lake Tahoe, surrounded by frequently snow-capped mountains, is one of Nevada's most beautiful sights. This 22-mile-long freshwater lake is a popular year-round destination high in the Sierra Nevada Mountains on the Nevada-California border. Most visitors come here in the summer to enjoy the beautiful beaches, hike some of the spectacular hiking trails, or camp at one of the many nearby campgrounds.

In winter, families and powder hounds from across the US come here to hit the slopes at the ski resorts in the Lake Tahoe area. Any time of year, you can enjoy the scenery on a lake-side scenic drive. Several towns around the lake provide good bases for exploring the region. Lake Tahoe is about a three-hour drive from San Francisco, and under five hours from Yosemite National Park. From Reno, you can reach the north end of the lake in about 45 minutes.
