This was the morning of our last day of driving of a 5 day trip and we were exhausted and didn't think we were going to stop anywhere for sights. Then we passed this area. It is a MUST stop. We didn't take any of the trails because of needing to head home but we did hike across some rocks... More

You can walk up as far as you'd like. We took subs for lunch and had a great picnic with the kids. They had fun playing in the waterfall. Take lots of towels as it's chilly when you get out of the water. Beautiful area. More

The hike to Eagle Falls is not very far, and the views back across the lake get better as you climb... More

Eagle Falls can be seen and swam in via Eagle Falls Trail. It is located on the southwestern part of Lake Tahoe just off the highway. Look for the trail sign and park in the designated lot (there is a fee for the lot at certain times of the year...not in the winter though) or off the road. A 10-15... More

All the trails in Lake Tahoe are great. We chose this one because the elevation gain wasn't too great - I'm from a low elevation so hiking at high elevations is difficult for me. Beautiful scenery. Just what you would want on a moderate hike. More
