Things to Do in South Lake Tahoe While You're Here for the Wedding

We’re so excited to have you join us in South Lake Tahoe! If you’re looking to explore while you’re here, October is a beautiful time to visit—think crisp mountain air, fall colors, and fewer crowds. Here are some fun ideas to make the most of your trip:

Outdoor Adventures

🍁 Scenic Hikes & Fall Foliage

Take a leisurely stroll at Eagle Lake or Fallen Leaf Lake—both offer beautiful views and a peaceful vibe.

For those up for a challenge, Mount Tallac has stunning panoramic views (and bragging rights!).

🚴‍♀️ Biking

Rent bikes and cruise along the lake on the Pope-Baldwin Bike Path. It’s a great way to see the area and take in the scenery.

🚤 Emerald Bay Cruise

Hop on the M.S. Dixie II Paddlewheeler for a relaxing boat ride around Emerald Bay—it’s seriously gorgeous in the fall.

Relax & Unwind

🍷 Breweries & Wine Tastings

Check out South Lake Brewing Co., Sidellis, or hop on a Tahoe Tastings wine cruise (yes, wine on a boat!).

🛍️ Heavenly Village

Great for shopping, grabbing a coffee, or just wandering around. There’s also mini-golf and an ice rink (sometimes open in October!).

🔥 Spa Time

If you need a little downtime, BioSpirit Day Spa or The Landing Resort Spa are perfect for relaxing.

Evening Fun

🎲 Casinos & Live Entertainment

Just across the state line in Nevada, you’ll find Harrah’s and Harveys for gaming, concerts, and bars.

Seasonal Happenings

🎃 Oktoberfest Events

Some local spots have Oktoberfest parties—think beer, brats, and live music!

👻 Haunted Tours

If you're into spooky fun, check out a local ghost tour or historical walk.

Whether you’re here for a quick trip or extending your stay, we hope you get to enjoy a little bit of Tahoe magic while celebrating with us!
