Lake Tahoe is a beautiful, deep blue lake nestled among mountain peaks. It has depths of up to 1,600 feet and the mountain peaks are in the 8,000- to 10,000-foot range. The location offers a multitude of options. During the summer, boating, camping, and hiking are popular activities. Winter sports are popular during the colder months (December-April). Lake Tahoe has been a tourist destination since the turn of the 20th century, when steam trains and improving roads made it possible to visit with ease. The 1960 Winter Olympics, held at Olympic Valley, popularized winter sports at Tahoe.
Here is all you should know before visiting to get by and get the most out of the experience.
How to get there?
Most visitors fly into Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO IATA), about an hour's drive to Truckee on Interstate 80. There are also two smaller general aviation airports closer to the Lake, one in Truckee that supports a short runway and mostly propeller airplanes, the second sin South Lake Tahoe which hosts commercial flights.
There is an Amtrak train station in Truckee, California, and bus service from various carriers there to points around the lake. Amtrak offers a combined bus/train service from San Francisco (via the Emeryville, California stop) to South Lake Tahoe. Greyhound stops in Truckee, with connecting local bus service to the lake
How to get around the Lake?
Along the north shore and Truckee, there is a bus service run by TART (Tahoe Truckee Area Regional Transit) which is free of charge. Several services exist along the south shore as well.
Cabs can be scarce, so a rental car may be a wise decision.
Hitchhiking is also common in the north shore, although usually for shorter regional distances
Recommendation:
Olympic Valley/Palisades Tahoe is possibly the most well known resort in all of California. A complete skier's paradise — magazine favorite for its varied terrain, huge size and massive high speed lift system; and a former Olympic village. It's oversized reputation also presents a downside: crowds that even on a mountain of its size can swamp the intermediate lifts and result in lines.
Where to stay?
Hotels are, of course, an option. Book in advance, especially in the winter or summer seasons. You can get a room for as cheap as $30/night in South Lake Tahoe, get a package at a casino hotel or spend several hundred dollars a night at one of the many resort style hotels on or near the Lake or ski resorts.
