The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in South Lake Tahoe

Bijou

The Bijou Dog Park is a great spot to take your dog for socialization and releasing some excess energy. The dog park is separated by small and large breeds, and has 38,000 square feet of fenced in and off-leash room to run. The park is grass, which is perfect for fetch, and has a lot of shade, benches for owners to sit on, clean-up bags, and water for your dog. If Fido isn’t in the mood to socialize, the two of you can still walk around and enjoy Bijou Park on-leash. If you and Fido wanted to grab some food after your park adventure, check out Sprouts Café, Meyers Downtown Café, or MacDuffs’ which all have outdoor patios and welcome your dog to join you.

Camp Richardson

Kiva Beach is a beautiful dog friendly beach in South Lake Tahoe that boasts gorgeous views of the mountains that surround it. This hidden beach may be tricky to find, but is worth the trip. Enjoy the sand and surf, picnic tables for a lovely meal, restrooms on site, and the trail that leads from the beach through forested areas. While on the beach, your dog needs to stay on-leash, as the Forest Service is very strict on the leash laws on the beach. While visiting Kiva Beach, bring water for your pup as there is none available, and be sure to clean up after him. If you’re looking for a pet-friendly place to stay around Kiva Beach, check out Lodgepole House or Fallen Leaf Campgrounds, which both allow your pup to stay with you.

Stateline

If your pup needs some supplies, check out Dog Dog Cat, a pawsome retail store to take your dog for all his needs. Dog Dog Cat has toys, natural pet food, snack, collars and leashes, plus sweaters and dog shoes in case your dog gets cold in the snow. After some retail therapy, you can walk to three of the dog friendly restaurants located in Stateline. California Burger, Fire + Ice, and McPs Taphouse all welcome your dog to join you for a bite to eat and a good beer before continuing your day in Tahoe. There are also a ton of different hotels and resorts to stay at along Stateline that welcome our dog to relax with you. The Blue Lake Inn, Stateline Economy Inn, Stateline Lake Tahoe, and The Landing Resort and Spa are just a few pet-friendly places to check out when visiting.

Simply Bliss Vegan Café has outdoor seating that includes big bowls of water for your dog. The patio is shaded to help keep Fido cool, and all their food is animal free. If you’re looking to stay closer in town and away from the tourists, there are plenty of pet-friendly hotels to stay at in Lake Valley.
