Patios, decks and pools in North Lake Tahoe
North Lake Tahoe, Calif./Nev. (Summer 2014) – Blue skies, warm waters and even warmer temperatures are all perfect reason to relax and soak up the sun at one of the countless patios, decks or pools in North Lake Tahoe.
North Lake Tahoe decks offer spectacular, often panoramic views of the lake perfect for catching a sunset over the lake. Patios come in all shapes and sizes, some mountainside and some lakeside, but most offer something a little extra like entertainment, fireplaces to cozy up at, and games like bocce ball.
Lake Tahoe is the largest alpine lake in North America and offers dozens of public beaches as well as a great variety of pools at North Lake Tahoe resorts.
Pools
From mountainside to lakeside and up to the 8,000’ Summit, there are plenty of opportunities to lounge poolside.
The High Camp Pool and Hot Tub rest at a whopping 8,200 feet at the top of Squaw Valley Resort’s Aerial Tram. At this elevation you will be treated to amazing views of Lake Tahoe and the surrounding Sierra Nevada Mountain range. Next to the hot tub, Squaw’s Umbrella Bar serves up cocktails daily and the Poolside Café provides a fantastic poolside menu and bar just steps away.
The Hyatt Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa and Casino boasts a lagoon-style swimming pool that has an indoor entry and swim out feature. The swimming area also features two oversized jet spas and a wading pool.
Northstar California Resort’s variety of lodging provides several family-friendly and more private swimming options. From the Hyatt to the Ritz-Carlton Spa, romantic getaways and young families can find a place to lay with ease. The recreation center at Northstar Lodging provides an Olympic-sized swimming pool, ideal for any lap-paddlers. The Ritz-Carlton Lake Tahoe offers two outdoor pools, either for lap swimming or relaxing mountainside. These pools overlook the peaks of the ski resort. The swimming pool has direct access to the all-new outdoor Backyard Bar & BBQ.
If you are looking to fill your whole day with pool-going activities, stay at the Resort at Squaw Creek where the outdoor oasis features a large recreation pool, plunge pool, 120-foot waterslide, children’s pool, and three outdoor all-season whirlpools. All pools offer a sprawling view of Olympic Valley.
