While driving south on Hwy 89 we came upon a small dirt roadsde parking spot next to this river {Taylor Creek) flowing under the Hwy. Began hiking west upriver on a cleared but undeveloped trail that followed the waterway with spectacular forest and moutain scenery. Returning to our starting point we headed east on a very well marked and developed... More

Worth the trip to Tahoe just for this. To avoid the crowds, plan your visit during the week in the Fall.

Every year my family and I take a vacation to South Lake Tahoe. This is one of our favorite places to visit during our trip. There is a beautiful nature trail that the whole family can enjoy. In certain parts of the year there are salmon that are swimming upstream in a creek along the pathway. There is also a... More

A nice short walk that my almost 2 year old was able to complete easily. As we got in to the fish habitat she was so happy. She was pointing to all of the fish and didn't want to leave and I didn't mind staying with her either.

The Taylor Creek Visitor Center was a great place to visit for an afternoon stroll through nature. There is a loop trail that takes you through different ecosystems to view different plants and animals. We especially enjoyed seeing thousands of salmon during the salmon run. Unfortunately, since it was the end of the season, the visitor center building was closed... More

great spot to visit especially in October when the Lake Tahoe salmon spawn into Taylor Creek. At any time the hikes and views are a great break. We enjoyed the site a great deal.

We visited this center late October. Went into the Visitor Center first, and enjoyed talking with the enthusiastic ranger who was full of information and stories about the area, and happy to relate them all (including how Lake Tahoe got it's name). We were glad that we got there a few days before it was to close on Oct. 31... More
