You can read about Taylor Creek's offerings in other posts. What I wish I had known was that it would be a great place to picnic and ride bikes. If you are coming out here in the summer or fall, consider renting a bike at Camp Richardson and riding north to Taylor Creek. Bring a picnic lunch to eat at... More

Gorgeous scenery! Take a walk through the lush wetlands at the Southern edge of Lake Tahoe. While I imagine the landscape changes somewhat throughout the year, in early June it was lush, green, and beautiful. There are informational plaques that tell you about the wetlands,and there are benches along the way where you can sit and listen to the aspen... More

I went to the visitor center to ask a question, but when I got there I got way more than expected. There is a trail called, Rainbow Trail that takes you through meadows, a marsh area and onto Taylor Creek. The area was so quite, except for the various birds chirping that I found it a deeply spiritual experience. There's... More

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.

Lots of information and really enjoyed our time here would obviously be a lot better when there was more water in the creek.

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
