Guys, what is better South or North of Lake Tahoe? I like water activities, hiking, swiming, sightseeing.?

Question

I am planning my visit in August. I like beautiful nature, mountains, clean water to swim and sun !

Answer 1

North Shore
You can get night life anywhere.
While you are up there go over to Truckee and take that raft ride down the Truckee River
South shore is too damn crowded and populated

Answer 2

The Hyatt up at Incline Village, NV had a nice beach right on the lake, a pier, canoes, etc.

Mountains surround the lake. So beautiful you'll want to cry but won't.

The entire lake is more pure than most brands of distilled water (I read that, and from the looks of the water in the lake itself, I believe it).

The best nightlife is at the south end of the lake, right on the state line between South Lake Tahoe, CA and Stateline, NV.
