Lake Tahoe Family Fun by a Fun Lake Tahoe Family

Here's a copy of an email response sent to a family, visiting from the Seattle area, that inquired about special tours and activities at Lake Tahoe, during the end of July.

I think you would all enjoy a ride through Emerald Bay on the M.S. DixieII. We took our boys (ages 4 and 7) on this paddle wheel boat, this past winter, and they loved it.



While you’re visiting South Lake Tahoe, you might like to take a ride in a horse-drawn carriage. This is a lovely 30 ride around the Heavenly area of S. Lake Tahoe. A visit to Heavenly Village, while you’re there, might also be fun.

July 25th is Living History Day. Tahoe Maritime Museum has some fun activities on that day, as does Sugar Pine Point State Park. Our boys loved both places. Sugar Pine State Park also offers a tour of the Ehrmann Mansion. You can get tickets for that when you’re there. Bring a picnic for the beach; it’s beautiful.

There are some wonder parks near where you’re staying. Commons Beach and Kilner Park are among our favorites. You might also enjoy rafting down the Truckee River together. You can also rent some bikes in Tahoe City and bike together. Tahoe City Bikes at 690 North Lake Blvd. (the Main Street of Tahoe City), is a good place to consider for bike rentals.

Have a wonderful visit and thank you for your email,
