Fire Sign Cafe

A big deck right on the lake, and baskets of the famous zucchini sticks for the table.

A quieter West Shore beach and campground area good for a calmer afternoon by the water.

In the trees near Tahoe City, with a wading pool for small kids and, in winter, a groomed sled hill on the grounds.

Zip lines and rope bridges through the trees at Granlibakken, for ages 6 and up.
