Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park – Sand Harbor
“The largest alpine lake in North America, Lake Tahoe is a cobalt blue lake atop the Sierra Nevada mountain range. On its eastern shores, gently sloping beaches, crystal-clear water and interesting rock formations allow for wonderfully sublime swimming, kayaking and scuba diving at Sand Harbor.”

There are a 1/3 mile wheelchair accessible boardwalk nature trail and a picnic area here as well as an accessible path to a sandy beach. Even better, you can borrow one of their two beach wheelchairs, free of charge. The wheelchairs are available on a first-come-first-served basis. Entry to the park is $12 per car for non-residents of Nevada, but it’s worth it.
Spooner Backcountry in the Lake Tahoe Basin “…is a widespread recreational and natural oasis, with a lake surrounded by aspens and more than 12,000 acres of forested, open space. The park features 50 miles of hiking, equestrian and mountain biking trails and primitive roads. “
The Spooner Lake loop trail described by Tahoe Adventure Sports. Said to be “good for all skill levels” by AllTrails. These two references disagree on length — 2.1 or 1.8 miles.
