The Truckee-Lake Tahoe area is known for its spectacular mountain beauty, making it the perfect vacation destination any time of year. The area’s icon—Lake Tahoe—is the country’s largest alpine lake and offers beautiful blue waters ringed by 70 miles of lovely shoreline. This is definitely a “don’t miss” on the list of things to do and see during a visit to the Tahoe area. But what are some other fun things to do in Truckee and Lake Tahoe when you are visiting the area? Find out below!

Historic Downtown Truckee

Exploring downtown Truckee is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. You’ll be able to browse a number of shops and galleries, as well as explore the town’s railroad history. There are plenty of watering holes and restaurants to experience during your downtown tour as well.

The Resorts

The Truckee-Lake Tahoe area is home to several resorts, including:

Boreal Mountain Resort
• Tahoe Donner Downhill Ski Area

These resort areas offer exhilarating winter sports, as well as terrific hiking and biking during the summer. Not only are these resorts beautiful, but they are also a fun way to truly get to experience some new slopes!

Kid Zone Museum

Take the kids out for a day of fun and learning at the interactive Kid Zone Museum. Called an “Exploratorium,” kids can interact with exhibits and artistic staff members who will make all guests and visitors welcome. It’s a great rainy-day activity for the whole family!
