For enchanting lakeside scenery, head to Emerald Bay State Park, the peaceful forests and beaches of D. L. Bliss State Park, and the densely-wooded Ed Z'berg Sugar Pine Point State Park. These parks also provide well-groomed nature trails and scenic spots for picnicking. Kings Beach on the sunny North Shore of Lake Tahoe is a favorite place for swimming and boating, including kayaking and paddleboarding.
