About Lake Tahoe

The California–Nevada line runs through Lake Tahoe. South Lake Tahoe is the busiest side, with the Heavenly Gondola leaving from Heavenly Village and the Stateline casinos just across the border.

Winter is about skiing at Heavenly. Summer is beaches, boats and Emerald Bay.

Beach lots and spots near Heavenly Village fill early in both seasons.
