Fallen Leaf Lake -  Paddling and Hiking July 14 to 20

Fee: We want everyone to feel this is your camping group by contributing to the Meetup cost. We will provide a “tip” bucket at our campsite and Linda, and I ask each family to pay $5 per event.

Address: 2165 Fallen Leaf Rd, South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150
Find us in campsite # 138

Linda and I hope you will join us at beautiful Fallen Leaf Lake at South Lake Tahoe just 3 miles NW of the junction of US -50 and CA-89. Fishing, hiking and boating are obvious pursuits. Limited to 25 attendees, please make a reservation BEFORE you RSVP.

Facilities: The campground has 75 tent sites and 130 sites for either tents or RV's up to 40 feet. There are no electrical hookups, but each site has a picnic table, food lockers, fire grills and drinking water. Vault toilets are the norm. Coin-operated showers are available.

Reservations: can be made at www.recreation.gov (877-444-6777). https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/232769

Each family is responsible for their own reservations, equipment and meals. We will enjoy happy hour each evening at 5 pm to share stories and get acquainted. Bring your own chair and favorite beverage. I plan to hike and/or paddle every day. Lunch will often be on the trail or beach.

South Lake Tahoe and casinos attractions are nearby. This campground provides access to nearby Trailheads and easy access to Lake Tahoe.

BE BEAR AWARE: You are camping in bear territory, and they are active every night. I recommend storing all food items in the bear box located in your campsite. Do not store anything in your vehicle or truck.

IMPORTANT TIME SAVER IF YOU BRING A NON-MOTORIZED BOAT - You can self-inspect your boats by taking a 15 minute course and quiz at home. Your boat must display an inspection sticker.

Tahoe Boat self-inspection course is free and they send you stickers for your boat(2).

To keep invasive mussels out of the water, a boat inspection is required!

BE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THERE IS NO WATER ANYWHERE ON/IN YOUR BOAT, PADDLES, LIFE JACKETS, HATCH COVERS, ETC. If the inspectors find any water on your equipment, you may be denied entry to the lake for that day.
