Things to Do in Lake Tahoe

Tipsy trivia facts: Lake Tahoe is the second-deepest lake in the United States and never freezes despite the cold winter weather because of its size. And you know what else is cold—er, we mean cool? The sunken ships deep under the surface! Check out the Tahoe Maritime Museum to view ships like the Shanghai, a 1890s-era vessel brought up from the lakebed.

Want to be outdoors instead? Head to Heavenly Mountain Resort or the Squaw Valley Ski Resort, which have some of the top ski and hiking trails on the West Coast. Plus, with the money saved with Lake Tahoe packages, you can ride those lifts as much as you dang well please. A hot shower back at your Lake Tahoe accommodation will be more than earned.
