About North Lake Tahoe

Lake Tahoe is a crown jewel of the Sierra. Formed approximately two million years ago, it is the largest alpine lake in North America and the second deepest in the United States. North Lake Tahoe spans two states and boasts two dozen beaches, twelve ski resorts, hundreds of miles of biking trails, half a dozen communities, and a growing number of nationally recognized human-powered events, races and festivals. North Lake Tahoe is a 45-minute drive from the Reno Tahoe International Airport, two hours from Sacramento International Airport and just over three hours from San Francisco International Airport. Visitor information centers are located at 100 North Lake Boulevard in Tahoe City and 969 Tahoe Boulevard in Incline Village.

• Aerial fabrics combine acrobatics, the artistry of dance, and the exhilaration of height to emphasize core conditioning, grace and creativity. Widely popular across the North Shore, this full body workout tests strength and balance.

• SUP yoga classes are offered throughout Lake Tahoe. Instead of rolling out the yoga mat in an enclosed studio, yogis are taking their practice to the waters, finding that balancing on paddleboards makes yoga more challenging and more rewarding. Beginning SUP yogis even find it easy to turn it into a dual sport activity, where a difficult yoga pose one minute effortlessly transitions into an unplanned swim in the waters of North Lake Tahoe the next.
