Hiking
Dicks Lake is a stunning alpine lake close to South Lake Tahoe within the Desolation Wilderness and the north Sierra Nevada. Wildlife such as bears, deer, and mountain lions roam the region. If you are into fishing, Dicks Lake is the place to fish for Rainbow trout. There are beautiful campsites at the northern shore. Overnight wilderness permits must be picked up at nearby ranger stations.
