Details
3.42 mi

The Five Lakes Trail is a challenging and rewarding hike to a set of serene alpine lakes. This trail follows an out and back route. Because of the steep grade throughout, most consider this a hard hike. Once you reach the lakes, there are a few trails you can explore to get closer or even take a dip in one of the lakes! The 5 lakes area is a great place to recharge in nature and soak in the beauty of the Lake Tahoe area.
