Pros: - Dog friendly - Near Highway 50 - Parking lot - Lots of trees - Restroom/Outhouse Summary: For a snow park, it's decent. There's an adequate sledding area, but we've been to several snow parks that were more spacious and have higher slopes that don't require a parking pass. Although it has a restroom/outhouse, you might want to bring your own wet wipes and/or toilet paper as it doesn't offer running water. Unless you want to scrub your hands in the snow. You can venture on the "trails" to get away from the crowd. But all in all, it'll do.

There was 4 tubing lanes for guest to enjoy, along with rental snowmobiles, and igloos. The staff here are all amazing and very professional.

My kids kept wanting to go to her lane. Overall great plan to check out.

Great for Families & Touristy Fun -- Just Come Early! We…read morevisited Tahoe Snowmobiles in South Lake Tahoe for snow tubing, and had a really fun time! While the business name suggests it's just for snowmobiles, they also offer snow tubing, which is what we came for -- but it wasn't immediately clear online or on signage. It took a bit of guessing to realize we were at the right place since the signage could definitely be improved. That said, once we figured it out, everything was smooth! Good to Know Before You Go: Tubing is $50 per person per hour, and every person on the property (even if not tubing) must purchase a $10 spectator pass for liability reasons. We arrived around 10:30 AM on a Sunday, and the lines were okay -- but by noon, it got VERY busy. We were so glad we came early. Slopes are perfect for kids -- not too steep, with just the right amount of thrill. Kids aged 3-5 must ride with an adult. There are two entry lines (walk-in & reservations). Booking online ahead might help to save some time. What We Loved: The tubing lanes were well-groomed and smooth. There were staff members at the top helping launch you down gently (or with a wild spin, if you're up for it!) and safety staff at the bottom ensuring smooth exits. Kids loved it, and it felt safe and well-managed overall. Staff were young but hard-working and cheerful. There's a QR code at the entrance to fill out the required waiver -- best to start that while you wait in line. Parking Tip: Nearby parking is $20 per hour, but the first hour is free -- perfect if you plan your visit efficiently. Final Thoughts: Yes, it's a bit touristy and a little pricey -- but it's also a blast and creates great memories and photos for families. If you arrive before 10 AM or later around 3 PM, you'll avoid the biggest crowds and have a much smoother experience. We'd definitely recommend it for families looking for classic snow fun in South Lake Tahoe!

Angry about the price of the ride for my wife (equivalent to a full day ski pass), so we decided to go for a hike instead. Great decision. Gorgeous day, challenging hike but great trail.

Way better than paying for the gondola with a 5 minute loop around a metal platform...Stayed at the Marriott so just walked out the back of the hotel.

However you can walk in if you park outside of the entrance in the metered parking. Or just ride the bus here. Bus is free at least until autumn of 2026 and they might even extend it again. The photo here shows October during a nice snowfall where Bodhi was standing at the border which is clearly marked on the road as you see in the photo between California / Nevada. Once you walk up the trail be sure to divert up to the scenic lookout a top a beautifully flat rock. that is where the other photo here was taken from in December 2025. I caught the sunset and ended up leaving the trail a little after most people might find comfortable. it had gotten dark indeed. on the NV side. The bathrooms on the California side are closed for the season. this sky this time of year can turn an incredible pink at the very end of the day after the sun has set in the west. It's magical it's notable that while they will sell you a ticket at heavenly to ride the gondola for $108 you can just walk up to this lookout and see almost exactly the same view. you could stay there as long as you want. Seems like a good deal to me. it gets your workout app impressed too

Unfortunately, it wasn't open to the public yet, but we got to see the exterior and peek into the windows to see the interior. Great experience, nonetheless. It's connected right along the water and a dock where we got to sit and relax for a while and take in the fresh air and cold water. It was sunny this day, so we got in, but don't let the sun fool you... the water was ice cold still. Easy hike down, but definitely can be exhausting going back up. You're basically walking at a steep incline the entire time.

There's something so special about hiking in the beautiful Lake Tahoe area. Maybe it's the tall…read moreTahoe Pines or the secluded beaches. Or maybe it's the views of the rocky coastline or rampant wildlife. Maybe it's the breathtaking trailheads and the smell of fresh pine that hits your nose. Whatever it is; I just love it. The Whale Beach Trail offers all of those lovable Tahoe accents that I love. I found this trail through the AllTrails app (Secret Cove Beach to Whale Cove Beach) and it was the perfect way to check out several secluded beaches along the way. The Secret Cove Beach to Whale Cove Beach Trail loop is a short 3 miles long, but it's a great way to hike down the beaches and relax along the way. You can take the shorter version of this trail which is just the Whale Beach Trail and it's about 1.5 miles long. I started at the parking lot above Chimney Beach. If you plan on starting here for the loop trail, get here before 8 am. Otherwise, parking will be full and you'll have to find a spot down the road. The trail starts off pretty easy along a single track sanded path through the beautiful pine woods. The trail begins to widen and open up to some wonderful views of the lake and gorgeous secluded beaches down below. The trail passes by several beach coves (Secret Cove, Secret Harbor {aka Boater's Beach}, Creek Beach, and Whale Beach) and ends at Whale Beach. Not a ton of elevation gain, but the ups and down of the path will give you a nice workout. Pair that with climbing to and from the beaches and you've got yourself a nice little moderate hike with plenty of exploration opportunities. Most people seem to use parts of these trails solely to get down to the beach. Because of this, the trail is relativity calm which leaves you with many opportunities to have the trail to yourself. It's mostly shaded with a few open spots to allow the sun to peek through. There are several restrooms along the trail and also near the beaches. Saw several birds and lizards all throughout the trail. It's super peaceful and gorgeous. A trail that I would come back to simply because it allows access to so many different beautiful beaches. Whale Beach itself is lovely and secluded with the clearest water and super soft sand. However, Sand Harbor Beach is by far the most beautiful of all the beach coves along this trail. It's also not nearly as crowded as Secret Cove which is a total relief. This was easily one of the most memorable Tahoe hikes that's I've done simply because the views are unparalleled. Such an amazing trail that you should check out sometime.

Our family LOVED this trail! Parking was a little rough. We ended up facing south on SR-28 on the…read moreside of the road. There are stairs down, so you should try to find those. (Not that they are much better than the rocks down, but they're something. ) We zig-zagged down the trail taking the farthest-most route to Whale Beach. There were other turn-offs that would have taken us to Secret Cove/ Boaters Beach/ etc, but we kept straight. I wouldn't say the trail is super-well marked, though. It helps to know where you're going (we used the All Trails map). We took our puppy, and she was off-leash most of the time. There were other dogs at the beach, so they had fun playing. We were excited to see parta potties as we got closer, too! (No wash stations, so BYOHS). The climb back is ... a workout. We we're able to take one path down, and another loop back - not that you can quite tell from the map picture as apparently my watch wasn't actually tracking the whole time. But, still fun! All of the kids (3, 7, 8, and 9) made it there and back without having to be carried. We have hiked before, but I wouldn't say we're expert level. So, it's doable!

The more adventurous in our group tried the green slopestyle and the BMX trail. The less adventurous ride the whoopsie trial and the pump tracks. Then for those who wanted, there is a playground in eyesight of the bike trail starts. The bathrooms were clean and stocked with soap and paper towels (woohoo!!!). There is a skate park in the area as well, though we didn't spend time in that area. There were some workers tending to part of the start of the BMX trail, but they had set up a way for people to start regardless. That just struck me as so super thoughtful that the whole thing wasn't closed. Other families and even more serious riders shared the park while we were there. Everyone was welcome and it was a seriously fantastic afternoon!
