About this place

Added by Karyna Wilkerson

Stateline Fire Lookout is a quick hike that's less than 2 miles. Get amazing views and a photo or two of Lake Tahoe. Be prepared for a slick road if you do this in the winter.

This quick 1.4-mile RT hike takes you to a lookout point above the Stateline of California and Nevada. The road to the lookout is paved so beginners can make the trek to the top in the summer; winter covers the road with snow, so snowshoes or boots are recommended. The lookout offers spectacular views of North Lake Tahoe from Incline Village and the east shore to Tahoe City and the west shore. The lake lights up for sunrise and sunset so bring your camera to get some epic photos of the colors reflecting off the lake.

The Stateline Lookout Road is paved, but the road can be covered with snow in the winter or very slippery when the snow is melting in the spring.

Park on the right side of the road; be courteous as parking is located on a neighborhood street. You will see a yellow gate on the left; this is the lookout road that you take to the top of the lookout.
