STORIES ADOPT A DOG

The dish on dog-friendly South Lake Tahoe

By: DogTrekker Staff
A vibrant dog park bathed in sunlight features abundant greenery with mature trees, offering ample shade for leisurely outdoor activities. In the distance is a well-equipped playground that presents an additional activity area. An inviting picnic table spreads out nearby, ideal for enjoying meals al fresco or taking relaxing breaks from play. A neatly-placed trash bin aids in maintaining the park's cleanliness for everyone's enjoyment. Dominating the scene is a generously wide dirt path gracefully curving through the expanse of grass, promising exploratory walks and lively fetch games.

Just as Tahoe City is the gateway to Lake Tahoe’s north shore, dog-friendly South Lake Tahoe is the hub for many travel adventures on the lake’s southern shore. Here, you and your dog will find stunning lake views along with countless opportunities to swim, hike, explore by paddleboard, kayak around the lake, or simply relax.

Once you arrive in South Lake Tahoe, you’ll find a vibrant and bustling town with a wide range of dog-friendly places to stay. Exciting restaurants also welcome four-legged family members, and area businesses provide key services for pups and their people. Read more stories about South Lake Tahoe.
