Bike trails and blackjack. Ice skating and barhopping. Whatever your passion, Tahoe South does it right. Welcome to a place with enough around-the-clock awesomeness to keep you playing all day and partying all night, all on the shore of the largest alpine lake in North America, its clear water surrounded by the majestic Sierra Nevada. Jaw-dropping vistas, stately groves of pines, and ludicrously gorgeous sunsets await. When it comes to wild life, we’ve got both kinds. In spades. Consider TahoeSouth.com your field guide to the great outdoors, as well as our tasty restaurants, hopping dance clubs and kaching-ing casinos. Feeling lucky yet? 2TahoeSouth.com RT-SS_150600_TahoeSouth_client.indd 2 6/2/15 6:51 PM TahoeSouth.com RT-SS_150600_TahoeSouth_client.indd 3 6/2/15 1:37 PM RT-SS_150600_TahoeSouth_client.indd 4 6/2/15 1:39 PM WATER RECREATION In case you didn’t know, there’s a lake up here. A big lake. We know—how unexpected. A beautiful, clear lake that you can splash around in to your heart’s content, along with plenty of other activities. Glassy and calm during mornings and evenings, Lake Tahoe is ideal for high-speed waterskiing and wakeboarding. Or rent a stand-up paddleboard and glide calmly across the surface. Paddling pros can take on the epic Lake Tahoe Water Trail, a 72-mile circumnavigation with 41 launching sites. For overnight stays, there are campgrounds and other lakeside lodging. Or take the opportunity to climb aboard a kayak, sailboat, or historic paddle wheeler for a sunset cruise. If that sounds utterly sleep-inducing, may we suggest MARINAS Camp Richardson Marina camprichardson.com 1900 Jameson Beach Rd.

Some of them even live here permanently, so your knobby tires will be in good local company. From the heart-pounding downhill track of the Saxon Creek Trail (nickname: Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride) to the gorgeous Flume Trail, there are rides for every technical level. For the truly ambitious, you can link trails and ride seven summits in one day. Tahoe South has been designated as a Bike Friendly Community, so bike paths for the social spin are plentiful and so are shops staffed by experts that rent and sell high-quality bikes. The famed loop around Lake Tahoe is 72 miles of scenery: deep blue Emerald Bay. The road also passes quaint waterfront lodging and plenty of eateries to fuel the journey. The best part about biking in South Lake Tahoe? Plunging your sweaty self into the lake after your ride. Easy beach access means you can go straight from the trails to the water. Trust us, you’ll need a rinse. ©FIRST TRACKS PRODUCTION water, Douglas fir groves, and breathtaking views of 6TahoeSouth.com RT-SS_150600_TahoeSouth_client.indd 6 6/2/15 1:40 PM 800.288.2463 AD015279_01.indd 1 RT-SS_150600_C2-21.indd 7 7 5/19/15 6/3/15 1:15:13 8:00:10 PM AM HIKING It’s good for the soul to wander outside the range of cell phone service—or at least act like you did. Tahoe South has plenty of opportunities for hiking or trail running up glacier-carved granite slopes, finding hidden waterfalls, and discovering alpine meadows painted with wildflowers. Your inner naturalist will be delighted. The South Lake Tahoe region is crossed with an extensive network of backcountry trails that is sure to lead you to your happy place, though runners looking for paved paths will not be disappointed. For the truly dedicated pavement-pounders, the Lake Tahoe Marathon happens each September. You could spend a week backpacking through Desolation Wilderness, or just go day-tripping with a picnic. Lake Tahoe has hiking trails for the hard-core and weekend warrior alike. You could even get your forest cowboy on, with lots of equestrian trails, In winter, show cold who’s boss by strapping on some snowshoes, and you'll be rewarded with snowy solitude and breathtaking views of Lake Tahoe at its most serene. The best part of hiking or running uphill is knowing that the way down is way easier—and you’ve earned the right to celebrate with a big meal and a cocktail. Or three.

Perched on top of its perfect island is a stone teahouse; a walk down to the lake's edge brings you to Vikingsholm, a castle-estate called, "the finest example of Scandinavian architecture in North America," open to visitors during summer months.
