For the more adventurous types who want to do some cliff diving, hike up to Angora Lakes above Fallen Leaf Lake. These two large lakes have a small store that serves snacks and rents out kayaks and canoes. This clear and green swimming hole is known for its tall cliffs where daredevils can practice some mean jumps and dives. The highest ledge is about 60 feet. Please check the water depth and submerged objects before jumping. Hot Tip: The Angora Lakes resort's lemonade is "world famous". Directions: To reach Angora Lakes from Highway 89, take the Fallen Leaf Lake Rd. turnoff for approximately 2 miles (3.2 km). Turn left and climb to the top of the one-lane road and look for the dirt road and a sign reading "1214". The steep paved road leads to fantastic vistas and ending in the Angora Lakes parking lot. There is a short 1-mile (1.6 km) uphill hike to Angora Lake.

Angora lake is a little secluded lake up in the mountains. It is a fun spot to hike up to for the day and hang out! You can rent row boats and kayaks from there . There is a little shop to get snacks and ice cream but other than that you are just in the wilderness!

This is one of our favorite day outings. Parking at the trailhead is limited so LEAVE EARLY. Two beautiful alpine lakes with a little 'hike in' resort that offers paddle board and kayak rentals.

Awesome lakes, and the best lemonade in Tahoe.
