Kirkwood Mountain Resort

Tahoe is clearly pet-friendly. People and groups can float around in fully translucent kayaks thanks to this incredible tour company. Paddle around Lake Tahoe with your dog and enjoy the crystal clear waters, snow-capped mountains, and breathtaking scenery! Reservations are necessary. Pets are only permitted on a few tours.

At this great dog-friendly beach, pets are welcome on a leash. Dogs on leash are allowed east of Tallac Point (an El Dorado Country ordinance). Dogs are not allowed on the federally protected wetlands west of Tallac Point (where the Lake of the Sky route ends) for the protection of wildlife in this delicate environment.

This dog park, which is part of Bijou Community Park, has off-leash spaces for both small and large dogs. It is around 38,000 square feet of canine and human entertainment. The dog park offers grass spaces, plenty of shade, chairs for lounging, pet hygiene stations, and water, making it a perfect spot for people and dogs to socialize.

The Bijou Park in South Lake Tahoe offers a variety of amenities, including a free, fenced-in dog park where your pet can run around off-leash.

Dogs on leashes are permitted at the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit. Many dogs enjoy playing in the snow, and fit dogs will enjoy accompanying you on short cross-country or snowshoeing excursions. Dogs must be kept on a 6-foot leash and wear identity tags.

The campground at Emerald Bay State Park only permits dogs on a 6-foot leash. Pets are not permitted on the trails, the roads leading to Emerald Bay, or the beach. The lake is recognized for its natural beauty, with a number of small islands dotting the water and the adjacent South Lake Tahoe area's tree-lined mountains. Emerald Bay State Park is open every day from sunrise to dusk.
