South Lake Tahoe Things to Do

You love Lake Tahoe, and you feel as if you’ve seen all it has to offer. But as the old saying goes, you ain’t seen nothing yet ... not until you’ve seen it from the air, piloting your own aircraft over the Carson Range and into the Tahoe basin. With Hang Gliding Tahoe, you fly a powered hang glider (with an FAA-certified instructor along) and enjoy the sight of the lake from an entirely new perspective. The flight can even count toward training for a pilot’s license. Morning flights offer spectacular year-round viewing conditions. Flights may be scheduled for 30, 60 or 90 minutes. Winter flights are warm and cozy with modern-technology heated clothing. Don’t forget to sign up for the photo or video services for a souvenir of the flight that you will treasure forever.

Tahoe Forest Baths offers Cedar Enzyme Detox Baths, a unique spa experience based on a time-honored Japanese tradition that is gaining in popularity around the world. One of only two places in North America to experience this purifying and relaxing treatment, Tahoe Forest Baths immerses your body in soft, dry fermented cedar and enzymes cultured and imported from the organic farmlands of Hokkaido, Japan. The cedar warms you from the inside out, providing detoxification, exfoliation, stress relief and rejuvenation for the skin, digestion, metabolism and sleep. The Cedar Enzyme Detox Baths are excellent for muscle recovery for athletes and anyone who's been out enjoying the active Tahoe lifestyle. Post-bath, you'll enjoy hydrating enzyme beverages and an optional treatment from the Oxygen Bar.

DL Bliss State Park is a culmination of absolute Tahoe beauty in the form of stunning turquoise water, old-growth forests and giant cartoon-like granite boulders that balance themselves like toys in amazing ways. There are multiple hiking trails that lead from the park, giving plenty of opportunities to enjoy the splendor that outdoor Tahoe has to offer, and you'll find several good dive spots here too. To help enjoy the area even more, there are 150 regular campsites and one group site, all having easy access to the water via various points around the park. The park is also good for dogs as long as they're on a leash at all times and not on the trails. If you're coming to the park for day use only it is highly advised that you come early, as the park tends to be very busy and parking is limited. The park does not allow day use visitors once the parking lots are full. The park closes in the winter, although access to trails is still available. Visitors should remember to pack it in and pack it out and to leave no trace.
