Check out these top outdoor spring activities to add to your meeting in Lake Tahoe. 

Hiking Van Sickle Bi-State Park Lake Tahoe

1. Waterfall Hikes 

Spring is the best time to get outside and onto a hiking trail here. The water flows rapidly as the snow melts during spring runoff, which means epic (and Insta-memorable) waterfall views along some of Tahoe’s best trails! Your group will find hikes for every skill level in and around Lake Tahoe. Here’s a list of our five favorite waterfalls. 

Kayak Tours Lake Tahoe

2. Clear Kayak Tours 

Take a guided tour of the lake on a transparent kayak! This luxury experience lets your group glide over the second deepest lake in the U.S. and experience incredible views all day long. If you’re planning for meetings all day, no problem. Your group can still experience the lake at night on an LED glow tour or LED stargazing tour.
