Fallen Leaf Lake is a paddler's paradise.
This stunningly beautiful, clear alpine lake
offers an intimate and serene experience.
When the water is smooth and still, the
surrounding mountains and forests are
perfectly reflected on the deep, dark blue
surface.
Nestled among towering peaks, Fallen Leaf
Lake is one of the prettiest paddling
destinations in the area. Depending on the
season, the mountains are capped with snow
and blanketed in majestic pines. The fresh,
glassy water is perfect for novice and
experienced paddlers alike, often sheltered
from the afternoon winds that sweep across
the larger Lake Tahoe nearby.
In addition to world-class paddling, Fallen
Leaf Lake provides ample hiking trails and a
campground for overnight visitors. Kayak
fishing is a popular activity, with 10 miles
of shoreline to troll for rainbow trout in
the 3-mile long, 3/4-mile wide lake.
This extraordinary paddling destination should
not be missed by any water lover seeking a
truly serene and picturesque getaway. The
tranquil beauty of Fallen Leaf Lake is
simply beyond words.
