Best picnic spots North side

Hi all, visiting Lake Tahoe from Australia in late June this year, we have one night south side and will be having dinner at Edgewood restaurant. Second night on the Northside of the lake.

Would love to have a spot we could get some takeaway and snacks and sit and watch the sunset over the lake. Any good locations?

Thanks

FIRST TIMERS

Hello everyone!

My family and I are going to visit lake tahoe this weekend and I’m wondering the best spots for renting a kayak and swimming spots in the lake (Preferably not over crowded). We’re thinking in staying at suites by Truckee since I found them the only place to accommodate 7 people. So we’re gonna have to drive a good 30 mins to an hour depending on the recommended spots. Thank yall for the help!!

Shoes for beach Microwedding?

Hi Brides!

What shoes are we wearing for beach ceremonies? Mine will be in Tahoe so I’m a bit nervous about the thick rocky sand. I’m getting my dressed altered next week and need to land on shoes by then.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Can anyone speak from experience on what worked for them?

TIA!

Recommendation for personal chef for a birthday dinner.

Traveling to Lake Tahoe (Tahoma area) beginning of June and was hoping someone could recommend a personal chef or caterer? Someone that comes to your house to do a small dinner for about 5/6 people. Looking for someone for my finance mother's birthday. Thanks for any insight.

Restaurants in South Lake that can accommodate walk-in for a 9-person group

Hi all! Anyone know what spots in South Lake would be able to accommodate us over MDW? Establishment can be alcohol-focused so long as it serves food. Bar or brewery style seating is totally fine. We are a chill group, most of whom have worked in the service industry.

Has anyone kayaked/suped around Lake Tahoe?

Looking for any advice you all have!

Summertime is around the corner and I'm in the pre-production stage of a rad project where we will circumnavigate Lake Tahoe via SUP.

6 days, 72 miles, and a heck of a lot of blue!

I will be camping along the way, eating dehydrated food, candy, and drinking out of the lake.

One thing I have learned while researching for this project is just how complicated the high water line is around Lake Tahoe.

Thank you!

Family photographer

Hi looking for recommendations for a family photographer in south Lake for a vacation in June.
10 participants ages 5 months to 65 years old lol. Not into super moody dark editing, I like more crisp natural editing. Would love any recommendations! Thanks!

Looking forward to doing some (smaller, haha) on site, plein air, paintings this summer.
Do you have a favorite view from Fallen Leaf Lake?

Seeking advice for activities in South Lake Tahoe for older woman

Hi everyone! I have been searching this Reddit, Alltrails, etc., and I am looking for some advice on the best/your favorite thing you would suggest for an older woman to do in South Lake Tahoe. I (20s) will be staying in South Lake Tahoe with my mom (60s) in mid-June for a girls trip. She walks about 20k steps a day but when it comes to hiking, that is not her department, LOL. BUT I would still love for the both of us to see some fantastic views! Besides any of the beaches with the mountain backdrop, does anyone have any suggestions for short/shortish, easy hikes with fantastic views! Even a nice paved path with views will work! Willing to travel out of South Lake Tahoe, but that is likely where our hotel will be.

My mom likes shopping, relaxing, and has some food allergies, so feel free to drop recommendations for any of the above. I've also been looking into the dinner cruise/sunset wine tasting cruise options, and have taken a peek at Serenity Spa. I would greatly appreciate any feedback, tips, tricks, etc! She suggested Lake Tahoe so I am trying to make this an awesome trip for her. I tried my best to search before posting, so I already have some ideas in mind, but want to make sure I get some local perspective to add to the trip planning. TIA!

Looking for wedding hair & makeup leads in North Tahoe/Reno area

I'm having a heck of a time finding a mobile hair & makeup artist in the area that doesn't have a minimum number of services. It will literally just be my hair & makeup, no family members or bridal party. Is it just unreasonable to expect anyone will be willing to come out to do just my hair and makeup? Should I just be looking for nearby salons?

For mid June- we love the beach and hiking

Would you choose an Airbnb near walking distance to Kings Beach and no view

Or

A penthouse condo on Crystal Bay with spectacular views?

Mount Freel in Lake Tahoe California

Gosh, I have been staring at this summit from South Lake Tahoe this spring just waiting for the conditions to improve so I can head up there again.

Who else plans to climb this peak this summer?

A few different trailhead options, but I am going to try to summit from my house near Heavenly. I think it will make for a big day (20ish miles).

North Lake Group Dinner

Helping plan a special night out with 10 women in June and looking at restaurants. What would be the best for experience and views for dinner — choosing between (or if you have another rec):

- Gar Woods (takes reservation, views)
- Sunnyside
- Christy Hill (food is better but more $?)
- Za’s
- Wolfdale’s

Things that are important: view of lake, general ambiance, can seat a large group, food/drinks.

Most of the group is not from CA and this is their first time visiting Tahoe. We’re staying in Kings Beach.
