Fourth of July Lake Trail Tahoe

Not exact address

11 miles round trip

This lake is surprisingly empty on its namesake day. Perhaps due to the rugged but beautiful terrain surrounding it. Fourth of July Lake can be accessed from both the Carson Pass south of Lake Tahoe or from Upper Blue Lake in the Mokelumne Wilderness. Most people hike from the Carson Pass, where you can access the wonderful Winnemucca and Round Top Lake at the same time. During this time of year, Winnemucca and Round Top are usually surrounded by wildflowers.

Trailhead Directions: From South Lake Tahoe take CA-89 south to CA-88. Turn right on 88 and drive for a few miles to the Carson Pass parking lot and ranger station. Note: there's a day-use fee with this lot.
