タホ湖の湖・トップ17

The trail from Incline Village to Sand Harbor is a must for anyone visiting North Lake Tahoe. There is one hill as you leave/enter Incline Village, but the rest of the trail is flat and follows along Tahoe's east shore, with incredible views around every corner. Eventually you'll end up at the fantastic Sand Harbor State Park, where you can enjoy the sun, sand, and water before heading back to Incline Village.

Memorial Point Overlook is located between Incline Village and San Harbor and offers spectacular views over Lake Tahoe and its large granite formations. Memorial Point hosts a very short trail to the shore, where you will find information boards about the flora and fauna of the area.

Hidden Beach actually isn't that hidden anymore but located about one mile south of Incline Village. But that doesn't make it less beautiful and you will love to go for a swim and enjoy the boulder-shoreline.

Sand Harbor is one of the most popular destination around Lake Tahoe, and with good reason. The views are outstanding and the beaches are wide and sandy. The parking area generally fills up within an hour of opening during the summer, but if you can get here on foot you'll be allowed entry.

Sand Harbor owes its current existence to the wealthy recluse George Whittell Jr, who inherited a vast fortune in the early 20th century. The wealthy heir bought 40,000 acres (nearly the entire Nevada side of Tahoe) with plans to develop large casinos and resorts. However, as he grew older he became more paranoid and reclusive and none of his grand plans came to fruition. Eventually most of his Tahoe holdings became public lands and the East Shore, Sand Harbor included, remain much less developed than other areas around Tahoe.

Secret Cove can be reached after a short hike and is a beautiful swimming area with great views over Lake Tahoe. Please be aware that Secret Cove Beach is a Nude Beach (optional).
