In the lap of Sierra Nevada, Lake Tahoe is located in the heart of the California-Nevada State line. The Lake is surrounded by the beauty of the Sierra Nevada mountains, which can be enjoyed all through the year. During the summer, the visitors can try water sports like boating, kayaking, swimming, stand-up paddle boarding or SUP, windsurfing, etc. The shore of the lake is also known for wilderness backpacking adventures, camping, and some of the best hiking trails. The winter brings the promise of snow, with the chance of trying out skiing or snowboarding. The Grand Lake altogether has 72 miles (115.8 kilometers) of shoreline. There are many types of staying opportunities available close to the lake, which is rather unique in nature. You can go for an RV rental to explore more or stay in a yurt full of modern luxuries while being based in the lap of nature. Interested? Check out the best yurts in and near Lake Tahoe.
