other lakeshore town. Sandy strands along Hwy 28 include small but popular
Moon
Dunes Beach
, with picnic tables and firepits opposite the Rustic Cottages;
North Tahoe
Beach
(7860 N Lake Blvd)
, near the Hwy 267 intersection, with picnic facilities, barbecue
grills and beach volleyball courts; and
Tahoe Vista Recreation Area
(7010 N Lake Blvd;
parking $10)
, a locals' favorite with a small grassy area and marina and the
Tahoe Adven-
stand-up paddle boarding gear ($15 to $80).
forested hiking and mountain-biking trails, an 18-hole disc-golf course, a children's play-
ground and tennis courts lit-up for night play. In winter, a sledding hill (rentals available)
and ungroomed cross-country ski and snowshoe tracks beckon. To find this hidden park,
drive almost a mile uphill from Hwy 28 on National Ave, then go left on Donner Rd and
follow the signs.
