Dogs have plenty to do in South Lake Tahoe, California For those of you who prefer a California mountain get away with your dog, consider pet-friendly South Lake Tahoe. Make your reservation for one of the cabins at Spruce Grove Tahoe Cabins. Open to well-mannered dogs for a one-time fee, they offer an on-property fenced 1 acre dog park or a pet-accessible wooded area for exploration. All cabins are fully furnished and include full amenities. All you need to bring is your dog, your leash, and your suitcase.
When you vacation with your dog in Tahoe, plan to stay long enough to visit dog friendly Kiva Beach. You can also take your dog with you on a raft ride from Truckee River Raft Rentals, let him meet other canine pals at Bijou Dog Park, or join you at a host of local dining establishments that allow dogs in their outdoor dining areas. If you visit South Lake Tahoe in the winter, leashed dogs or those under voice control can follow along as you ski in the Taylor Creek/Fallen Leaf cross country ski area.
