In addition to the obvious watersport options, The Landing offers its recommendations for 10 ways to enjoy Tahoe this summer:

Go Fish. From serene fly fishing to chartered lake fishing, the trout of Tahoe will provide anglers a catch-worthy tale to take back home. Lake fishing is available year round and stream fishing from July 1 – Nov. 15, with the Truckee River available April 29 – Nov. 15. Learn to fly fish or refresh your skills with Tahoe Fly Fishing Outfitters.

C'mon Get Happy Hour. For a refreshing happy hour cocktail overlooking Lake Tahoe, stop by Jimmy's Restaurant at the Landing Resort & Spa and try one of the signature Greek mojitos while drinking in the views of the lake and mountains from the lakeside patio. Happy Hour is 3:30 – 6:30 p.m. daily.

Hit the Links. Golf enthusiasts will be pleased to play through on greens frequented by celebs from Charles Barkley to Ray Romano at the Edgewood Golf Course, adjacent to The Landing Resort & Spa. Host to the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship each July, Edgewood is rated one of "America's Top Golf Courses” by Golf Digest.



Dine in Style. For South Lake Tahoe's only five-star dining experience, enjoy the modern California and Greek/Mediterranean cuisine at Jimmy's Restaurant at The Landing. Recently applauded by Forbes for “lots of fresh local produce and high quality seafood” in dishes that “shine,” Jimmy's also provides an award-winning wine list that includes a selection of Greek vintages by the glass.

Play Cowboy. Equestrian adventurists will love exploring Tahoe on hoof, with horseback rides including backcountry pack trips, steak dinner rides, and one- to two-hour excursions, while families will have fun on summer hay wagons and pony rides.
