If I were spending three days in Lake Tahoe in the summer, this is the itinerary I’d recommend. It assumes you’re staying in South Lake Tahoe and focuses on things to do in and around South Lake Tahoe, with time spent on the East Shore as well. The East Shore is one of my favorite areas in Lake Tahoe and is not to be missed. The itinerary includes a mix of summer activities, turquoise beaches, scenic hikes, and fun restaurants.
