Echo Lake

Echo Lake is located on Echo Summit south of Lake Tahoe near the town of Myers. Both Upper and Lower Echo Lake are wonderful for summertime swimming and fishing, but most people go here to enjoy the many trails and the trek into Desolation Wilderness. At Lower Echo Lake you can enjoy some food and drink at the Echo Chalet before taking off on a hike. The Echo Chalet is only open during the summer but also offers a boat taxi up to Upper Echo Lake for a small fee. The Chalet also rents fishing boats and kayaks during the summer.
