Fallen Leaf Lake Access

Fallen Leaf Lake Access provides entry to a scenic alpine lake near South Lake Tahoe with a marina offering paddleboat, kayak, and stand-up paddleboard rentals, plus a café serving food during summer months (Memorial Day through September 30).

The access point is located off Fallen Leaf Road with nearby parking and connects to the Fallen Leaf Campground, which offers 206 campsites including yurts for overnight stays.

The lake is less crowded than Lake Tahoe and provides opportunities for non-motorized and motorized boating, swimming, and access to hiking trails including routes to Desolation Wilderness.
