Things to do in South Lake Tahoe
South Lake Tahoe sits on the lake’s southern shore, right against the Nevada line, where the casinos and hotels of Stateline rise across the street from California. Heavenly Mountain Resort climbs directly above town, with Kirkwood and Sierra-at-Tahoe a short drive away, and the lake itself draws boaters, paddlers and swimmers all summer. Tourism, hospitality, gaming and a large stock of second homes for Bay Area and Southern California families drive the local economy.
