From the Lake Tahoe World / Places
Cascade Falls
Cascade Falls is a rocky walk from the Bayview trailhead near Emerald Bay. The route reaches the top of the waterfall, with views over Cascade Lake and Tahoe beyond.

Keep exploring Lake Tahoe with our travel partners.
The payoff combines falling water with a layered lake panorama rather than a close-up view from beneath the cascade. The short distance can be deceptive because the path crosses uneven rock. Cascade Lake itself is private, so the public trail and waterfall viewpoint define the visit rather than access to the lake's shoreline.
What to look for
Cascade Lake below the falls
Tahoe beyond the nearer lake
Useful to know
Wear sturdy shoes for the rocky trail and stay on the public route.
