Romantic Lake Tahoe Weddings near Golf Resorts, Fishing and Boat Trips
The Hickmans
June 18, 2008
As the weather warms, days grow longer and blossoms fill out bare branches on trees, many of us look forward to golfing, fishing and hiking season. Still more of us realize that wedding season is also just around the corner and our weekends are not quite as carefree as we had hoped they would be. But who says you can't have both? Here, a look at the best outdoor activities near one of the most popular wedding spots in the country: Lake Tahoe, California.
Fishing
Few realize that Lake Tahoe is just one of a series of lakes and rivers scattered in Northeast California ripe with trout, bass, salmon, steelhead and catfish. Among some of the most popular areas to cast a line are Feather River in Graeagle, the Truckee, Klamath, Smith and Trinity Rivers, as well as Lakes McCloud and Shasta. Just north of Lake Tahoe, The Chalet View Lodge sits within easy access of all of these hotspots, including prime access (walking distance!) to Feather River. Sign up with one of several area fishing charters and get the local advantage of a seasoned guide, quality equipment and a stocked boat to take advantage of the time between wedding events.
Golfing
The diverse mountain-lake-valley terrain of Northern California makes Lake Tahoe and its surrounding areas home to some of the most stunning golf courses in the nation. Graeagle alone is home to more than six championship and nine-hole courses and Chalet View Lodge offers its own executive golf course just steps from your private cabin. Even experienced golfers will find themselves challenged by the terrain and rewarded by the scenery at Graeagle Meadows, voted one of the "Best Places to Play" by Golf Digest.
Planning Your Own Wedding
For those of you who are looking to tie the knot yourselves, keep in mind that your guests will have a much better time on your big day if they are able to turn the event into a legitimate summer vacation. Chalet View Lodge and Lake Tahoe are popular wedding destinations not just because they provide a romantic atmosphere to say your vows, but also because of the myriad activities available in the area. Fishing, golfing, hiking, sailing and swimming are just a few of the reasons your guests will come to Lake Tahoe for the wedding and stay for the week. Private suites, a swimming pool, spa treatments, an executive golf course, on-site brewery and fitness center are several more reasons your guests will want to stay at Chalet View Lodge.
