Marlette Lake
Marlette Lake is a backcountry destination reached on foot or by bike above Tahoe's east shore. Reaching it from Spooner Lake involves a substantial outing rather than roadside lake access.

Bring this chapter to life.
Keep exploring Lake Tahoe with our travel partners.
The approach through North Canyon separates this visit from Spooner's shorter lakeside walk. Forest gives way to a high lake basin, with routes connecting to the historic Flume Trail. The five-mile approach from Spooner makes the lake itself the day's destination rather than an extra stop between beaches.
