Enjoy a very nice meal at Jake’s on the Lake which has a spacious outside patio overlooking the Tahoe Cove marina. The building is large and sprawling and the tables were not crowded together, offering lots of privacy.
The view was just endless, looking over the blue Lake Tahoe waters and golden sunshine. Jake’s restaurant is often a favorite for many visitors and locals.
The service is friendly, professional and very attentive and is a relief to have enough space to breathe in some of the beautiful scenery and enjoy a quiet meal with family or friends.

A hike to the Loch Leven Lakes near Lake Tahoe is a rewarding experience. Three beautiful glacial tarns make up the Loch Leven group. A well-graded trail climbs 3 miles to the first lake and then reaches two more in the next few miles.
The island-dotted lakes are beautiful and excellent for swimming. Trailhead: Big Bend Exit off I-80. The parking lot is 1/8 mile east of the Visitor Center.
This is not an easy hike as it is a 6 mile round trip with an overall elevation gain of 1,120 feet to reach the lower lake. Middle Lake is only a short distance further and is larger than Lower Lake.

Upper Velma Lake is in Desolation Wilderness near Lake Tahoe, and is another wonderful destination after a gratifying hike.
A trail continues up an open, exposed hillside for some distance. Then you enter a shady woodland, then backtrack up up to a granite rockface.
Once you reach a ridgetop, you will have the best views back down the valley towards scenic Lake Tahoe.

Most of Nevada’s east shore of Lake Tahoe is void of sandy beaches. The exception is Sand Harbor. The many beaches on the Nevada side beaches have coarse sand that can be very tough on your feet.
Due to Lake Tahoe’s prevailing breezes, they deposit a fine grained white sand at Sand Harbor that has become its namesake.
