In the summer, hiking and hitting the water are the two main dog friendly attractions in Tahoe.
HIKE as many dog friendly trails as you have time for

This spot is particularly great for sunset viewing at inspiration point, which has a free parking lot adjacent to the viewpoint.
Vehicles cannot drive down to the lake, but there are many vistas and hiking trails. Catch a Sunset over Emerald BayĮmerald Bay is located 12 miles north of South Lake Tahoe. That’s why we’ve rounded up all our favorite dog friendly activities that we enjoyed (and will warn you against those that we didn’t) during our week stay in Lake Tahoe. We know it can be tough building an itinerary for a place to visit that has SO many things for you to do. Dog Friendly Activities for Your Lake Tahoe Itinerary
If you’ll be in Tahoe for a decent amount of time then you should consider splitting your time between North and South Lakes - the whole lake is really worth experiencing! - and plan your activities accordingly. I typically like to find lodging within 30 minutes of most of our activities so we’re spending more time exploring instead of driving. We were supposed to stay at this aframe for our recent visit but they had a bit of a house emergency with a pipe bursting, so this one is still on our wish list. We’ve stayed at The Coachman for a quick weekend getaway and have rented several houses and a condo through AirBnB and VRBO. We prefer home rentals or long term stay hotels with home-like amenities, and having a backyard or a grass area nearby. Whether you prefer a hotel or a home rental, we’d recommend picking your lodging based on the location of your activities and the vibe of the area you’re looking for. There are plenty of options when it comes to dog friendly lodging in Lake Tahoe. The road is also a bit windy if you’re entering on 80 into South Lake, and feels less treacherous in the daylight. This is one of our favorite scenic drives that you won’t want to miss. We’d also recommend planning for there to be daylight on your drive in. These times of day will easily add one to two hours onto your travel time. People in the Bay Area practice Summer Fridays, so avoid Friday afternoons for your drive in and Sunday afternoons for your drive out. If you’re driving, make sure you hit the road at off times to beat the crazy traffic getting in and out of the lake for the weekend. If you’re flying into Tahoe, we’d recommend flying into Reno and you’ll want to rent a car. I’d also keep an eye out for golf tournaments that can raise prices and lead to congestion - there are a handful that are played every year in the Tahoe area. Lodging will be really expensive and the lake will be packed. I would avoid coming on a holiday weekend, like 4th of July. Unfortunately, Tahoe continues to see higher and higher temps each summer due to global warming, but it is still like the rest of California in that it cools off pretty dramatically in the mornings and evenings. We once came to Tahoe Memorial Day weekend and it snowed! If you’re not interested in high 80 degree days, come earlier in the summer.

It’s particularly fun to visit with your dog in the summer when more activities are open to them - like the aerial gondolas and mountain trails at the ski resorts and fun water activities.įor the full summer experience at Lake Tahoe, you should visit after Memorial Day and before Labor Day. With nearly 300 days of sunshine a year, Tahoe is a year round destination for all types of travelers. When to visit Lake Tahoe in the summer with Your Dog
We’ve spent most of our winter visits in South Lake, but for our summer trip we split time between both and enjoyed each one as much as the other. Both areas provide similar activities year round, but North Lake is known for being a bit more laid back than South Lake. Lake Tahoe is divided into North and South Lakes. Tahoe sits at 6,225 feet above sea level and is the largest alpine lake in North America, and the second deepest lake in the U.S. Known for it's vibrant green and blue hues and iconic granite boulders, Lake Tahoe straddles the California-Nevada border, is a sought after destination, and one of our favorite places to visit that I still can’t believe is just a few hours away from us.
