Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park offers a number of different areas for visitors to enjoy. Sand Harbor is one of Lake Tahoe’s most striking sandy beaches and features a boat launch, restrooms, picnicking, group use areas, and a
Lake Tahoe informational center - not to mention the new Harbor House Bistro and Beach Goods concessionaire, which offers quality dining and beachwear. Sand Harbor is also home to the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival. Sand Harbor is located three miles south of Incline Village on State Route 28.
Memorial Point and Hidden Beach, situated between Incline Village and Sand Harbor, are areas which offer outstanding views of the lake and more secluded access to its shores.
Spooner Lake, at the intersection of State Route 28 and U.S. 50, is popular for picnicking and catch-and-release fishing. It is also home to the Spooner Lake Outdoor Company, a park concessionaire that offers world-class cross-country skiing in the winter, an overnight stay in backcountry cabins and mountain bike rentals for riding miles of trails in the summer months. Spooner Lake is also a major trailhead for gaining access to the Marlette/Hobart Backcountry. The backcountry is comprised of more than 13,000 acres of forested open space with miles of hiking, equestrian and mountain biking trails. A group use area is also available. Vehicles are not permitted in the backcountry, which has been designated as a state primitive area. Two of the more popular trails in this area are the Marlette and Red House Flume as well as the Tahoe Rim Trail that runs along the crest of the Carson Range.
Cave Rock, located along U.S. 50 near Zephyr Cove, is a popular spot for boat launching, picnicking, swimming and fishing.
