Bijou Dog Park

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 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.

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.

Van Sickle Bi-State Park welcomes dogs. Dogs and their owners can enjoy a variety of simple to moderate trails. Many of them lead to stunning views of North America's largest alpine lake and its surrounding peaks. The hours of operation for this park change depending on the season. Call ahead to be sure they'll be open when you arrive. Pedestrians can use the area from sunrise to sunset all year, and automobiles can use it from May 1 to October 31, sunrise to sunset. Pets are allowed, but they must be kept on a leash no more than six feet long and any mess must be cleaned up after them.

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.

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.
