Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park

The sparkling waters of Lake Tahoe attract boaters, canoeists, anglers and swimmers.

Soaking up the sun at Sand Harbor in Lake Tahoe park.

Skirting the eastern shore of Lake Tahoe, this 13,400-acre park offers a wealth of recreational opportunities, wildlife and many other attractions.

A major attraction for park visitors is the famous Flume Trail, where mountain bikers and hikers can traverse the narrow path of the Comstock-era water flume which is perched 1,600 feet above Lake Tahoe. Once on the Flume, visitors experience breathtaking views of Lake Tahoe. At lake level, Sand Harbor offers pristine waters, beautiful white beaches, boat launching and an abundance of picnic areas for visitor enjoyment.

The Tahoe Rim Trail passes through the park for 14 miles, providing a five-mile loop connection with the Flume Trail for cyclists and hikers.

Tahoe and several other lakes provide fishing, swimming and boating attractions. Spooner Lake contains trailheads for backcountry biking, hiking, backpacking or horseback expeditions. Cave Rock, another park attraction, has boat launches and water perfect for fishing.

Cross-country skiing is available at Spooner Lake.
