"Enjoy pristine nature"
Check out this hidden gem next time you are in Tahoe. Take a hike with your family and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature all around. Do some fishing, biking or picnicking with your family. Simply exploring the surrounding is sure to provide some quality family time. For the adventurous, take a bumpy four wheel off road ride to a more remote location. Have fun!

"beautiful, hidden"
We had a wonderful time on this little hike with our 5 year old and 6 month old. The hike was very easy and only about 20 minutes to a beautiful serene, tucked away lake. On the way, we passed a massive tree whose inside had been burned out--our family of 4 was able to get inside and take a picture in it! We also collected huge pinecones along the path.

"A beautiful lake only one mile from Lake Tahoe"
Fallen Leaf Lake is a great alternative to Lake Tahoe. There is a fun but short trail from the parking area to the shore which is perfect for families with young kids. The lake itself is small but very picturesque and quiet. No motorized watercraft are allowed so you can spend more time listening to the sounds of nature and less time trying to tune out the drone of watercraft engines. There is a campground on the lake that is both family friendly and pet friendly. My kids could have spent hours on the lake, skipping stones and building forts out of fallen limbs.
